When the homeower of this Central Park West apartment called upon designer Fawn Galli to create a family home here, she wanted it to be light, fun and eclectic, with a bit of old-world, and lots of character to the furnishings. That is right up Fawn’s alley, as her spaces are typically pretty unique and full of life. I adore the quirkiness she added here, as if the homeowner had spent years collecting containers-full of the coolest stuff found at Paris flea markets. Photos: Marili Forastieri.

Studio Ashby, known for its refined and eclectic interiors, reimagined the St Germain Grand Apartment on Paris’s Left Bank. In collaboration with architect Antoinette Zalewski two separate apartments were transformed into one elegant duplex overlooking the Seine and Louvre. The renovation included new parquet flooring, bespoke panelling, a staircase and custom rugs. Blending antique and modern elements, the design drew inspiration from Parisian tones featuring a calm, neutral palette and artisanal craftsmanship to create a timeless, sophisticated home.

This is the Paris apartment of Clement Daventure and Clemence Orsini of design firm Orsini Daventure. Another exemplary example of the creativity and attention to detail of Paris designers, always unmatched and so unique you will never again spot anything like it. The space had never been touched since it’s creation in the 1970s so these designers created magic from scratch. Green fabric wrapped walls, travertine used as wainscotting, a rug-inlaid floor, patterned floor tile, flexible marble powder sheets to make a curved alcove in the bathroom, plaster & acrylic & ink wall frescos…. Spectacular! Photos: Amaury Laparra.

Residence Tuileries, designed by Necchi Architecture, is a 100 m² two-story townhouse located in the 1st arrondissement steps away from Tuileries Gardens and the Louvre. It is as elegantly Parisian as you could want, with elements of the 80s and 90s added in. Now this is where I would want to stay on my first visit to Paris….and I can! It is available through Pied À Terre website – a place to find architect-designed, unique apartments & townhouses unlike what you can find at a hotel or Airbnb. Photos: Ludovic Balay.
