In Britt Thomas’ high-end projects, simplicity and subtle details turn every design into a timeless success. Thanks to the calm colours and high-end materials, warmth and tranquillity are never compromised. Recently, the interior architect renovated a chalet in her well-known style, while also responding strongly to its surroundings.
For Britt Thomas, her interest in interior architecture quickly grew into a passion and, later, her job. According to her vision, an interior has to be an extension of its residents. Each step in the process is therefore discussed in detail with the client, to achieve a unique and contemporary result in which authenticity and innovation merge effortlessly. This involves careful consideration of the best choices for the colour and material palette and the furnishings. 
For this project in Crest-Voland, France, the architect was approached to renovate an existing chalet into a warm sanctuary in the mountains. The intention was to create an alpine style that is both cosy and comfortable. The focus was on the magnificent views. To maintain these, the chalet contains many windows, and the ceiling in the dining area was raised to the ridge of the roof, allowing you to enjoy a beautiful panorama on the first floor as well. 
Soft, fluffy fabrics were chosen for the decoration
The alpine feeling is emphasised by using a lot of raw materials, such as wood, which is visible in many places. To still give the interior a warm feel, soft, fluffy fabrics were chosen for the decoration, for example in the seats and cushions and the eye-catching lamps above the dining table. In the living room, we find mainly brown and beige colours, whereas for the bedrooms, more colourful tones were selected, with red and blue-green touches. To give the decoration a prominent place, the rest of the interior was consciously kept simple. For instance, white walls alternate with black kitchen cabinets. 
Thanks to the perfect combination of raw materials, a simple interior, and soft decoration pieces, this chalet offers an elegant and luxurious experience that you keep on enjoying.
