Matt Potts Design provides English-speaking interior architecture and design services across France. 

We believe that drawing leads to more informed design decisions regardless of scale - whether furnishing or decorating a room, renovating a kitchen or bathroom, or re-thinking how you want to live in your home. 

While moving to the French countryside is a dream come true for many, taking on a renovation project here can be daunting - especially for expats. Lean on our expertise in residential design to help you turn your dream home into a reality. Whether you need some guidance for DIY projects, drawings for artisans and contractors to build from, or more holistic design services for your renovation project, Matt Potts Design can offer a helping hand. Whatever your budget, we can tailor our services to your needs. Contact us today for an introductory call, or book a 1-hour online design consultation.
