There is nothing that helps me soak in the French experience more than having our own apartment in Paris. If only for one short week or for a long stay, having a place to "nest" and call home helps me feel as if I really am living life as a Parisian.
When you think of a Paris apartment you may imagine white furnishings, chandeliers and gold mirrors -- it can be these things, certainly, but a Paris apartment can also have a modern or minimalist look. It is not unusual to find a centuries-old wardrobe next to an Eames chair, for example. In the end, a Paris apartment is about using the elements of design in a compact space that is aesthetically beautiful, well-designed and functional.
Parisians are experts at making little spaces seem big. They do this with multi-use furniture, getting by only with what they need (most Parisians would consider art and decorative pieces a need ) and bringing this all together in a cohesive and useful manner which showcases one's individuality and -- above all -- remains stylish. After nesting in a smaller space while living in Paris, it does make me wonder if I really need so much stuff at home.
We hope you will join us at our "Paris Apartment" market where you will feel inspired to shop like a Parisian and live like the French!
