Take a tour around a romantic Alpine chalet

The owners fell in love with the open-plan living area, high ceilings and stunning views of the alpine forest from this house, seeing it as the perfect canvas for them to stamp their personality on without too much outlay.

The wood-burning stove is a great focal point in the living room that exudes warmth, and creates the hub of the home. Sheepskin rugs and comfy pillows increase the cosy factor.

The sofa is from Chaplins. Find a similar coffee table at The Conran Shop.

By adding colourful mirrors and cushions, the owners have created a fun and playful space for the children.

The mirrors and sofa are from IKEA.

Gathering around the kitchen table in the evenings is an important part of family life for the owners, who moved from London to The Alps to live a stress-free life. By whitewashing the walls, the property feels light and airy. It’s also a great background for their photos and collected treasures.

The dining table is from Peter Kadic, the console table is from Habitat.

The master bedroom is awash with soft fabrics and fake-fur throws, creating a room filled with serenity and a tranquil thinking space.

The bathroom is a cosy retreat from the wintery weather outside, the warmth accentuated by the traditional chalet-style wood panelling and chunky towels.

This girl's bedroom is a riot of colour compared to the rest of the house. The spotty blinds, fairy lights and wall transfers make it the perfect girly haven.
