Book Recommendation: French Flair by Fifi O'Neill

Posted by remy smith on June 30, 2025

We have not been able to put down French Flair by author Fifi O’Neill since getting our hands on it. Flip through the pages of this gorgeous coffee table book for tons of utterly French home inspiration and stories about the amazing people that inhabit these places.

Born and raised in Paris, France-- Fifi’s love for interiors with character and patina is her DNA. 

Fifi got her start writing for newspapers and magazines in Paris and Switzerland before moving to the US and writing her first book on interiors which became a bestseller! 15 books later and Fifi is still loves the process of book making.

“I love finding the homes for each book, going on photoshoots, meeting all the homeowners and writing about [the] interiors.  Not only do I learn something new every time but also make lifelong friends.” -Fifi O’Neill

Flip to page 136 of French Flair and see how homeowner Chantal Cloutier has created a home inspired by French style and her love of nature. We are completely enamored by her chic Solvang home.
”I always value authenticity and quality over quantity” -Chantal Cloutier, homeowner

Chantal’s home was designed by architectural designer Brendan McBreen, a Los Angeles Based designer. French Flair was written by Fifi O’Neill and photographed by Mark Lohman.
