Maison - Parisian chic at home

Style icon Ines de la Fressange and globe-trotting artist Marin Montagut share
a uniquely Parisian sensibility for interiors that combine a variety of design
traditions into a harmonious living space. With extensive photographs,
watercolor illustrations, mood boards, color palettes, and practical advice on
the indispensable objects that personalize each maison, this exquisite volume
is rich in inspiration for creating Parisian chic at home. Natural
materials—wood, wicker, bamboo, cotton, and linen—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 color.
Collages, original art, or humble objects displayed in a series add a
signature style to each residence. The authors take readers inside fifteen
Parisian apartments—including their own—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 decor—whether in a studio, loft, or
duplex—and they continually evolve their interior with new treasures uncovered
in flea markets, on their travels, at design fairs, or in artisanal workshops.
