Sophie Ferjani’s Home Wins Top Honor in Marseille

As one of France’s most beloved interior design personalities, Sophie Ferjani is renowned for her impeccable taste and authentic style. Her appreciation for quality materials, cozy atmospheres, and genuine charm has earned her an unwavering reputation in the world of decoration. Recently, Ferjani experienced a profound moment of pride that she eagerly shared with her followers on Instagram: her residence has been named the number one most beautiful house in Marseille by the prestigious magazine Marie Claire Maison.

A Home Unlike Any Other

Sophie Ferjani, widely recognized for her appearances on Maison à vendre alongside Stéphane Plaza, has never lost her passion for her craft. An avid lover of historic architecture and vintage charm, she skillfully revitalized a traditional Marseille home with meticulous attention to detail. Eschewing mass-produced styles, Sophie creates spaces with soul — places that tell stories, evoke emotion, and make you feel as if you’re “always on vacation.”

This particular sentiment is, according to her, the highest form of praise. In her Instagram post, she writes: “My job is to craft unique, welcoming spaces that preserve the soul of old houses… Such a wonderful recognition of my work. Almost as fulfilling as hearing: ‘It feels like you’re always on vacation at your place…'”.

The Recognition of Artistry and Skill

Receiving acknowledgment from Marie Claire Maison, one of the leading magazines in interior design and architecture, is a significant achievement for any professional decorator. This recognition goes far beyond surface-level appreciation; it reflects a deep understanding of aesthetic sensibility and emotional resonance. The magazine’s selection highlights spaces where charm is felt instantly, where decor enhances the environment without altering its essence, and where the art of living stands front and center. With this honor, Sophie Ferjani joins a select group of architects and interior designers whose work extends well beyond mere decoration — onto the realm of inspiring lifestyles.
