Ivy House is the stunning personal residence of Matt and Heather French, founders of French & French Interiors. Nestled in the foothills of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains in Santa Fe, New Mexico, this territorial-style home is a vibrant expression of their signature aesthetic. A playful fusion of color, pattern, and texture, the Ivy House embodies bold creativity and uninhibited design. With full creative freedom, Heather and Matt reimagined traditional style, blending hand-painted wall murals, eclectic pattern mixing, folk-inspired textiles, and unexpected yet delightfully surprising details throughout. Set against a breathtaking natural backdrop, this home is a true reflection of their visionary approach to interiors.
Not for the faint of heart, or the faint of pattern in this case, this home is a maximalist’s dream. A deeply personal project but also artistically ambitious. Tons of patterns and the prettiest of colours join forces to create a warm, country farmhouse vibe that is incredibly inviting. Photos: Jenna Peffley; Styling: Robert Rufino.
