Bonjour, I'm Laurence Gamelin, founder and designer of French & Beyond.

I believe a beautifully designed home has the power to elevate everyday life. From how we feel when we walk through the door, to how we unwind and connect.

My work is inspired by the timeless elegance of French interiors, reinterpreted for modern living in California and beyond. Natural textures, thoughtful proportions, and curated layers come together to create spaces that feel elevated yet deeply inviting.

My artistic foundation runs deep. Raised in a family of artists from Brittany, France, I was taught to see the world through color, light, and composition, a sensibility that guides every design decision, from palette development and material selection to the harmony within a room.

Based in Los Angeles and working with clients across the United States and worldwide, I create interiors that reflect each client's unique lifestyle and aspirations, whether collaborating in person or through e-design.
