Founder story: Camille at the Quai Saint-Antoine
Camille Moreau grew up helping her uncle unload peonies at Quai Saint-Antoine before school. She studied interior architecture in Lyon, then spent three years styling boutique windows along Rue de la République — always fighting for space where mannequins and stems competed. In 2016 she opened Atelier Fleur Lyon to bring that market instinct into private homes: greenery measured like furniture, not sprinkled like garnish.
Her first residential commission was a narrow Croix-Rousse dining room where a single espaliered planter replaced four unstable vases. Guests still ask for that drawing.
Why botanical interiors need a specialist
General decorators often underestimate water, light, and leaf drop. Camille drafts watering access and drip trays into the same plan as fabric choices. The atelier refuses projects that treat plants as disposable props for a single photograph.
Collaborations with Lyonnais ceramicists keep vessels unique to each street-facing apartment's colour story.
City as teacher
Traboule shadows, Presqu'île heat, and Fourvière breezes each change what thrives. Sample weekends in the atelier let clients see blush clay against Bordeaux leaf paint before anything is hung at home.
Camille writes in English and French for international residents, but this site stays in English as requested for the current portfolio presentation.
Studio ethic
Seasonal honesty beats imported rarities that die in a week. We would rather style abundant local branches than force tropical drama into a dark courtyard flat. Apprentices learn to sketch before they strip thorns.
