Parisian apartment style

Recreate the smart, tailored look of an apartment on the Left Bank by opting for a colour scheme of bold contrasts, such as this striking blend of fuschia pink and neutrals.

Updated classics like the commode and Louis chair give a nod to traditional French style.


HOW TO MAKE IT WORK…


•Choose a palette of bold contrasting colour combinations, such as citrine and chocolate or oyster and navy blue. A good starting point is a striking print such as that used for the blind.


•Keep walls and flooring neutral, then add interest by layering shades of a single colour. Use the strongest tones as accents: bright cushions and coolie lamp shades serve this purpose here.


•Team a modern sofa with updated French classics and painted metal furniture.


•Balance the modernity with decorative flourishes, such as the ornate mirror and lamp bases.
