Storyteller. Linen lover. Always planning my next reno or French escape.

A curated
destination
for beautiful,
thoughtful
living.

Karen Miles French Consul Petit Chateau

I’m a journalist, stylist, and content creator who’s never met a French café, linen cushion, or renovation project I didn’t love.

Through curated content and seasonal linen collections, I bring together my editorial expertise and personal aesthetic to celebrate a life well made.

At the heart of French Consul is the belief that a beautiful life isn’t made through grand gestures, but in the details — the linen napkin used every day, the light in a well-considered room, the ritual of a morning walk, a quiet corner café in a place that feels like home.

Collaborations

Through digital and print media, TV and radio, I’ve spent my 15+ year career telling beautiful stories — in words, in images, and in the details of everyday life.

At French Consul, I share curated content across interiors, travel, style, culture, and wellbeing, with a French-infused aesthetic and a love of craftsmanship and simplicity.

“This is the true joy in life, being used for a purpose recognised by yourself as a mighty one.”
