What “botanical styling” means here
Botanical styling is the craft of arranging living and dried plant material as part of an interior, not as a one-day gift bouquet. We consider leaf scale against ceiling height, pot diameter against parquet borders, and climbing height against cornice lines. On Lyon’s Presqu'île, where rooms often run long and narrow, we favour vertical layers and slim vessels. On Croix-Rousse, where light pours through tall atelier windows, we use denser canopies that soften glare without blocking the Saône view when shutters are open.
Clients hire us when a room feels empty despite furniture, when a courtyard feels hard, or when previous plants failed because light and water were guessed wrong.
Our background
The atelier grew from residential projects in Lyon and Villeurbanne where interior designers needed a plant specialist who could speak in centimetres and care weeks, not only Latin names. We partner with local nurseries for stock and keep a small vessel library for try-before-you-buy sessions at the Rue de la République address. Installs are handled by our own team; we do not subcontract watering to anonymous networks.
How we work with households
- Photo and measurement intake before any purchase list.
- Written botanical plan with plant IDs, vessel sizes, and watering intervals.
- On-site placement with floor protection for parquet and tiles.
- Optional follow-up visit after four to six weeks to adjust density.
What we do not do
We do not run a walk-in flower counter, wedding floristry programmes, or hospital delivery routes. We do not sell cut stems as a primary retail product. If you need a same-day bouquet for a dinner table, a neighbourhood florist will serve you better. If you need a room or courtyard that stays green through winter heating and summer shutters, we are the right studio.
Languages and access
Consultations run in English and French. Building access notes (codes, digicodes, courtyard keys) stay in our project file and are deleted on request after the final visit. Staircases without lifts are noted early — we plan vessel weight accordingly for Croix-Rousse climbs.
