Principles of French Mediterranean Home Design

French Mediterranean interiors are defined by restraint, not decoration.

Light establishes the foundation. Proportion organizes the space. Materials are chosen for their honesty and longevity. The result is a home that feels calm, lived-in, and quietly coherent.

This site explores these principles, room by room.

How the Site is Organized

This is not a trend-based site.
There are no quick transformations, no decorative formulas, and no rooms designed to impress at first glance.

Each article focuses on a single principle and its role within a room. The aim is to show why certain choices endure, why others fall flat, and how restraint often creates more presence than accumulation.

The goal is not to fill a space, but to clarify it.

Where to Begin

For first-time visitors, start with light and proportion.
They form the foundation of every French Mediterranean interior. Once these elements are understood, material, seating, and color choices naturally follow.
