Custom Furniture and Decor – Chalet in Megève

A cabin designed as a family home

For this 300 m² chalet spread over three levels, the owner wanted much more than a typical rental investment. She wanted to recreate the spirit of a family chalet, like the one her “grandparents” had: a warm, lived-in place where you immediately feel at home. The team at Agence Amevet, led by Chacha, designed a custom project combining built-in furniture, thoughtful layouts, and vintage finds to give each room its own unique character.

The six bedrooms, all equipped with private bathrooms, reflect this commitment to personalization. Each is named after an old-fashioned first name associated with a mountain animal, a nod to the family home atmosphere.

6 unique and personalized rooms

The two master suites on the ground floor, named “Ernest the Ibex” and “Iris the Cow,” are spacious and bright, featuring understated color schemes with touches of pine green and ochre. Two twin rooms have been designed for flexible accommodations, with beds that can be separated. They evoke the style of rooms from days gone by, with old-wood headboards and warm, cozy colors: the first, “Clarisse,” inspired by bees, features floral motifs and custom watercolors created by a French artist; the second, Marcel, is dedicated to squirrels, featuring antique finds, a wooden basket, and vintage decor.

Upstairs, the “Marius the Heron” bedroom evokes nature and tranquility with its blend of green and blue hues, while on the top floor, the “Treetop Room”—named “Lisette” after the Alpine snow bunting—features shades of white and soft fabrics to enhance the view of Mont Blanc. Paper pendant lights float through the space, and a large, custom-made sheepskin rug enhances the cozy atmosphere of this perched retreat.

In each room, special care has been taken with the wall decor: carefully selected vintage images in frames evoke old photographs and family memories…

Grandma’s Dining Room and Barn Table

The living room is divided into two areas: a cozy fireplace corner with sled-shaped tables where children can color, and a relaxation area facing the bookcase and TV, with comfortable sofas and plenty of pillows.

The dining room features a large, 3.50-meter table, custom-made in the style of a barn table, under cotton-thread pendant lights that evoke vintage knitwear.

The central staircase, which connects the three levels, is highlighted by a custom lighting installation designed by the firm, suspended across two floors. The decorative light bulbs, encased in green-tinted covers, blend harmoniously into the stairwell, creating a graphic and airy effect visible from the living room.

Human figures and cowhide

Finally, the living room’s open space was enhanced with a cowhide rug measuring 2.60 m in diameter and a wall art piece made from recycled wood, featuring figures illuminated by directional spotlights. Even the black kitchen has been accessorized with antique wooden items: bread baskets, old rustic dishes… Every detail has been carefully considered to recreate the atmosphere of a lively, spacious, and elegant chalet.
