An oversized home promises comfort, but the reality can be quite different:
-
rooms that are rarely used,
-
a sense of distance,
-
fewer shared moments,
-
more maintenance… and less life.
The result? A place that impresses, but doesn’t necessarily create connection.
Happiness also exists beyond the walls
By contrast, studies show that smaller, well-located homes tend to foster greater personal well-being.
What truly matters:
-
feeling at home in your neighborhood,
-
being close to work,
-
easily seeing family and friends,
-
living in an environment where real interactions exist.
In villages such as Lourmarin or Cucuron, quality of life comes not only from the home itself, but from the life around it—local shops, markets, and everyday encounters.
Fewer rooms, more life
A smaller home is not a compromise, provided it is well designed.
Open layouts, shared living spaces, natural light, and fluid circulation often create more comfort than unused square meters.
Better to have:
-
a living room where people truly come together,
-
a vibrant, lived-in kitchen,
-
a few versatile spaces,
rather than a succession of empty rooms.
Before buying, ask yourself the right question
Beyond budget or size, one essential question deserves to be asked:
Does your home create connection—or isolation?
