In the heart of the capital, this apartment has been entirely reimagined, with special attention given to emotion and the functionality of everyday life.
From the entrance, a Japanese-inspired wallpaper by Élitis introduces a delicate texture that envelops the space in a softly intimate atmosphere. The living room then unfolds into a harmonious composition: a rug from the British brand The Rug Company, a true piece of craftsmanship, interacts with a modular sofa by Minotti, defined by its precise lines. Together, they achieve a perfect balance between contemporary comfort and timeless elegance.
A spacious, light-filled study with sliding doors has been designed as a cocoon conducive to creativity. The shelving, designed by Nathalie and inspired by the organic forms of tree branches, subtly brings nature into this urban setting. A daybed found at Le Bon Marché invites moments of rest and pause.
« If it’s beautiful, use it. If it’s bold, dare it. »

The original layout of the apartment was redesigned to create greater openness and fluidity. The former main bathroom was replaced by a bright kitchen opening onto the terrace, a true luxury in the heart of Paris.
The “barstool” chairs are by Bertoia. Made of welded steel wire, these chairs form an airy, organic mesh structure.
The custom-made curtains, crafted from an Edmond Petit fabric, are paired with cushions from the English brand Tory Murphy, creating a subtle blend of Parisian spirit and British elegance.

The woodwork was custom-made by a Parisian cabinetmaker, based on designs by Nathalie, in order to provide integrated, harmonious storage perfectly adapted to the family’s needs.
In the guest bedroom, the custom-made headboard gently structures the space. A small, practical and ingenious IKEA rolling table serves as a reminder that even the simplest pieces always find their place when thoughtfully designed.
In the children’s bedroom, the atmosphere becomes lighter and more joyful. A playful wallpaper from the English house Sanderson (“Galapagos Ocean Blue”) celebrates imagination and the tenderness of childhood, while the natural wood beds from the German brand Billi-Bolli combine strength, softness, and durability.
This Parisian apartment elegantly combines family comfort, bespoke design, and a love of beauty, in a poetic, lively, and deeply functional spirit.
