It's like a stage, a theatre set for living. In the centre of this 75m2 apartment in the 6th Arrondissement of Paris sits a black box. Within lies the sleeping chamber of this edgy and moody home. Equally as interesting is the kitchen, laboratory like, waiting for its culinary chemist. Stylish French living by Agence Marie Deroudilhe.
In need of a little Tuesday pick-me-up? A break from the everyday? A virtual vacay in paradise? As much as I would love to be on a plane headed to Saint-Tropez to brush up on my French and my faded tan and relax, I will take this dose of eye candy of Les Parcs designed by Mis-en scène 40. Glorious! You'll probably find me on the premises drooling over those cactuses, or lounging on one of those Bertoia Bird chairs. (A couple more features on this firm here and here)
The 80s is back with a vengeance where Parisian interior decorator Vincent Darré is concerned. Not for the shy or the faint of heart, Vincent's surreal, baroque, high-octane style is maximum impact and as eccentric as it comes.
I have always loved this French manor house by Dutch designer Kate Hume. I had seen glimpses of it but never the whole house. On a recent revisit to the website, much to my delight, I discovered that there were more photos and, well, I certainly wasn't disappointed. It's stunning. The dialogue between old and new, the casual luxury. Kim first featured a room or two back in 2008 and I love how good design stands the test of time and the foibles of fads.
Another interior by Parisian design firm Kierszbaum Intérieurs. Another celebration of colour and texture, eras and styles. Another fabulous French home.
