You have just bought a property in the Cote d’Azur. That deserves congratulations; you have consciously opted for a real estate investment in quality in which the value of your home remains steadfast; whatever is happening in the world.
Buying a second home is not a decision that people make quickly; often years pass before the moment presents itself. Your business is running great and you can take a step back. Or the children have left home and are roaming all over the world. In all cases, it’s time to start enjoying life more. And to make a second home in the most beautiful location in the world: the South of France!
On average, people buy the home that suits them best within 17 seconds. Maybe a little faster, maybe a little longer. But you simply know from the moment you step in and see the garden or the view that it feels right. That ‘feeling of coming home’ cannot be described with any pen, or captured with any photograph.
Interior design, styling, and decoration with top brands
That is why it is important that you receive professional guidance in the process of buying a second home and that you receive a wide selection of different types of houses and different types of brokers. Only then can you make a considered selection of properties that appeal to you, already on the screen of your computer. After screening the long list, the shortlist is there, followed by visits.
After a fair price negotiation and necessary financial preparations, the moment has arrived: you sign the ‘acte de vente’ with the notary and you receive the key, a beep, and a stack of manuals for the swimming pool, the air conditioning, the alarm, and all kitchen appliances. The morning before you sign at the notary, inspect the property again to make sure it has been left in good condition.
The old owners have neatly taken their antique furniture with them, including that huge grey Leolux sofa from 1980. It is now time for a paint refresher and then the new design furniture and lamps can be delivered. Fortunately, you have opted in time for the interior styling and decoration service of Living on the Cote d’Azur.
Experienced styling team for maximum results
Jolanda KUIJER and Audrey VIGOUREUX advise our clients on stylish and warm interior design for their new homes. After a conversation via Zoom or our own video calling channel on Whereby, they understand which style and which colors appeal to you.
After this conversation, you will receive a mood board with examples of interior sets that are completely coordinated; the wood of the outdoor dining table is reflected in the wood of the sunbeds. And the woven reed in the lamps above the dining table is reflected in other details. And the fabrics used give every piece of furniture a feeling of luxury and quality.
A robust table to receive your friends for dinner, comfortable armchairs to relax, a book wall for your books and memories, or a mega sofa for the cinema room; we have the latest creations from the most famous designers. Our team works with all major brands of contemporary design furniture such as B&B Italia, USM, Living Divani, Vitra, Tribù, ClassiCon, Manutti, Flos, and Arper. Other quality brands in our portfolio are Zanotta, mdf Italia, Lema, Tecno, Vibia, DCW, Bocci, Foscarini, and Davide Groppi.
Light changes everything
In the evening you can make the atmosphere completely different by playing with light. The number of lumens, the transparency of the material, the intensity, everything determines a feeling of warmth and style. The luminous atmosphere of an interior is essential for well-being, in the sense that it is possible to create an atmosphere that is warm, inquisitive, or functional.
The concept we design for you is pushed to the limit with design lighting in the form of hanging lamps, floor lamps, and wall lamps, for both indoors and outdoors. The largest design brands are represented, such as Flos, Alessi, Altavola, and B&B Italia.
Outdoor furniture
Of course, you also want to see the style indoors, being reflected outside in your garden and around the swimming pool. A spacious sofa that can withstand wet (grand) children, lovely sun beds with cushions that make you dream away under the sun, dining tables for long summer evenings outside with comfortable chairs that stay comfortable, well after midnight.
Planning and installation
With well-thought-out coordination of material and color, the empty house turns into a total concept with our styling team. A house that exudes class and where every detail has been taken into account. Once you have made the choice and the estimate is signed, it is important to coordinate the deliveries of different manufacturers.
Thanks to our European network, we are able to switch quickly with all manufacturers. We are realistic in terms of delivery, but in 9 out of 10 cases, we deliver within the agreed deadline. All furniture and lamps are installed and connected by the team so that you can then start to fully enjoy your beautiful home on the Cote d’Azur.
