Parisian grandeur

Posted on Tue, 23 Sep 2025 by KiM

This extraordinary residence in Paris’ 16th arrondissement was built by Henri Deglane, the same architect that designed the Grand Palais. Not renovated since the 80s, designer Bryan O’Sullivan adapted it to 21st century living. He brought back elements that were previously removed, and enlisted many French artisans to restore plasterwork, millwork, and metalwork. Its grandeur and elegance is exquisite and the modern touches like Pierre Paulin sofas and Faye Toogood roly poly chairs create a wonderful juxtaposition to the classic architecture.

Organic matter

This 1930s apartment in west London was renovated and given a whole new stylish life thanks to designer Anna Møller. A foyer with the prettiest marble mosaic floor, an elegant and classic marble fireplace in the living room with mirror added to the alcoves, rich-toned wood cabinets in the kitchen, a wine-red drenched sitting room (this colour is FABULOUS), a sophisticated bedroom with dressing room and ensuite and an adorable kid’s room rounds out this gorgeous family home, and lots of moldings added to the walls (always a hit with me).

In El Born, Barcelona, John Brown Projects has reimagined a top-floor apartment with sensitivity to its architectural character and a fresh Mediterranean spirit. Catalan vaulted ceilings remain a striking feature, paired with natural tones and textures that evoke warmth and ease. A bespoke kitchen anchors the interior, while curated ceramics reflect artistry and travel. The result is an inviting retreat that captures the essence of Barcelona living.
