I could not love this Paris apartment more. Seriously spectacular detail. By Studio Razavi Architecture.

Before Baron Haussmann started gutting Paris under Napoleon the 3rd, a wave of modernization had started in the center of Paris where new buildings had gone up according to a different set of rules which would ultimately lead to what is known as the Haussmannian type. This apartment is located in such building and its decorative influence (both on the facade and inside apartments) bares a Greek influence, rather than Neoclassical, which would be generalized for later buildings.
As in most apartment renovations in older buildings, the layout was radically modified as the kitchen was brought right next to the front entrance and left as an open space and a master suite was created where the kitchen was formerly located. We undertook heavy restoration of original features (more specifically a remarkable wood floor) and created a smooth transition with remodeled areas so as to preserve the feel of an early 19th century apartment. Whenever possible, contemporary elements were introduced which, in combination with the furniture selection, create a lively and modern interior.

Clean lined, simple architecture with emphasis on natural materials such as wood, stone, metal, linen and cotton. The pursuit of timeless, beautiful spaces without losing functionality. That’s the manifesto of Madrid-based Estudio María Santos and this light and bright, modern apartment in the Ventas area is a perfect example.

Loving the casual, somewhat industrial vibe in this Milan apartment. The cream, white, grey and black colour palette is the best combination of neutrals that lends an air of sophistication. By Studio Paolo Badesco.

Now this is how you do it up in Paris. Get a fabulous apartment in the Place des Ternes at the 8th and 17th arrondissements of Paris and add some splashes of colour, a crystal chandelier and some mid-century lighting, some photographic art and you have a stylish pad everyone will be envious of.

If you like your colour more dark and brooding and less cacophonous then this Danish penthouse apartment might just be the place for you. I love how the few rich colour accents pop against the moody backdrop. Design by Rue Verte, a high-end interior design shop in Copenhagen.
