The Paris Apartment

This design style emphasizes elegance and cohesion, incorporating elements such as ceilings, walls, trims, furniture, light fixtures, curtains, soft furnishings, books, and color palettes.

Common furnishings include chaise lounges, vanities, slipper chairs, beds, daybeds, nightstands, chandeliers, sconces, lamps, paintings, armoires, dressers, mirrors, and rugs.

The style started in a New York City boutique and evokes the classic decoration found in highly ornamental apartments in Paris where there are moldings on the walls and ceilings.

Fundamental elements of The Paris Apartment style include showcasing art on gallery walls, incorporating large furniture in small spaces, and embracing a maximalist aesthetic with an aura of excess.

The style at the same time encourages a minimalist approach, using only what the owner needs—bedding, pillows, furniture, etc.—and only the best while focusing on details such as painted walls and ceilings, special doors, floors, and decorations.
