Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

A duo of high-profile tastemakers invites readers inside fifteen homes that are infused with the blend of vintage-contemporary style that is the essence of Parisian chic.

Style icon Ines de la Fressange and globetrotting dilettante Marin Montagut share a uniquely Parisian sensibility for interiors that combine a variety of design traditions into a harmonious living space. The authors take readers inside fifteen Parisian apartmentsβ€”including their ownβ€”that demonstrate how to imbue a home with a sense of well-being through a mix of vintage and contemporary styles. Each owner is passionate about home decorβ€”whether in a studio, loft, or duplexβ€”and they continually evolve their interior with new treasures uncovered in flea markets, on their travels, at design fairs, or in artisanal workshops.

Natural materialsβ€”wood, wicker, bamboo, cotton, and linenβ€”create warmth and personality. Vintage suitcases, vegetable crates, and jewel-toned pharmaceutical jars transform into charming storage containers. Embroidered cushions, terrariums, and fresh flowers enliven a room with pops of colour. Collages, original art, or humble objects displayed in a series add a signature style to each residence.

With extensive photographs, watercolour illustrations, and practical advice on the indispensable objects that incarnate each maison, this exquisite volume is rich in inspiration for creating Parisian chic at home.

Praised as a favourite by Hot Brands Cool Places and celebrated by Homes and Antiques for showcasing sophisticated style, this book is also lauded by France Magazine for its envy-inducing gallery and practical 'Get the Look' sections that make Parisian chic accessible and affordable.
