Curated spaces for lives well-lived.

Marine Griveau is a French-American interior designer based in Paris, specialising in high-end residential renovation — available in French and English.

In Paris, I design full residential renovations from gut to finish, with the precision and care that a complete transformation demands. Whether you are renovating a Haussmann apartment, reconfiguring a raw space, or building a home from scratch, I deliver a complete service: concept, technical plans, FF&E sourcing, and on-site coordination.

For international clients, I offer a trusted presence on the ground; expats relocating to Paris, non-residents managing a renovation from abroad, or anyone who needs bilingual guidance and a local eye to see the project through.

Frequently asked questions

How much does an interior designer cost for a home renovation in France?

What's the difference between an interior designer and an architect in France?

In France, the title architecte is legally protected and requires a state diploma and registration with the Ordre des Architectes, typically required for structural changes or projects above a certain surface area. An interior designer handles the spatial concept, materials, furniture, finishes, and overall aesthetic direction. For most residential renovations and apartment updates, an interior designer covers everything you need. If your project involves load-bearing walls, building permits, or new construction, I'll tell you upfront and recommend the right professional to work alongside.

Can you manage an apartment renovation in France if I live abroad?

Yes ! this is one of my core services. I work with expats, non-residents, and international clients renovating French properties remotely. I act as the single point of contact with contractors and suppliers in France, manage bilingual communication, handle procurement, and keep you updated at every stage. You don't need to be present. Most of my remote clients are based in the UK, US, or elsewhere in Europe.

Do you provide technical drawings and plans that a contractor can actually build from?

What does FF&E mean, and do you handle furniture sourcing?
