Jean-Louis Deniot is synonym of luxurious and elegant interiors. Even when he renovates a old farmhouse, he’s sophisticated style is present in simple details.
This was very special and closed to the heart project to the Parisian interior designer, that worked with his sister and business partner, Virginie Deniot, to totally renew a centuries-old French farmhouse, making it an elegant shelter for the family. Unexpectedly, the whole house renovation took only a year.

The brother and sister managed to keep some of the original materials into the new design. Jean-Louis Deniot describes this project as “not too sophisticated, yet more sophisticated than you’d normally have in the country.”
It all started with a two-story rectangular structure, but soon enough the designer decided to extend the house’s layout by building a passage connecting it to the adjacent stable.
First of all, because the house gets so much natural light, Jean-Louis chose a dark palette for the walls and used paler fabrics to break up the darkness of this modern farmhouse.
Upstairs, below the gabled ceilings, there are three more bedrooms, two new baths, and a media room. An under-floor radiant-heating system was installed, and three dormers were built—one in the front and two in the back—to match the existing one, filling the second floor with light.
