The Importance of Lighting for Audrée

Audrée says in her book that lighting has the power to transform everything. She avoids harsh, white recessed lights and instead creates a softer, layered mood with pendants, a few wall sconces, and a table lamp—always paired with dimmers so the light invites you to slow down and feel at ease. She also loves to mix different sources and finishes, and even place a table lamp where you’d least expect it, like in a bathroom. For her, it’s these small details that change everything.

For timeless choices, Audrée explains that you can never go wrong with a chandelier or a lantern. And when it comes to pendants or table lamps, she recommends cream linen shades for a touch of elegance in any room. See her favourite items here!

Her Favourite Place

For Audrée, there is no place more meaningful than home. She has always valued the simple joy of sharing a meal by the fireplace or on the terrace, bathed in the soft glow of the evening, far more than going out to a restaurant. Her love of animals naturally fits into this world—whenever a pet is present, she makes a point of including it in the moment, and she once dreamed of becoming a veterinarian. In her designs, she enjoys bringing animals into her spaces through paintings or wallpaper, as their presence adds a poetic, whimsical touch. To her, home embodies a rare kind of comfort—a quiet, authentic luxury that feels both timeless and deeply personal.
