The most visited city in the world, Paris!

Living in Paris is dream for many, myself included!

It is such a beautiful romantic city with the most stunning architecture, you can find buildings from the Roman, Medieval, Renaissance, and Classical periods. 

Parisian style and design trends are timeless, elegant and classical, they ooze glamour and sophistication, Id just feel like a princess in any of these rooms...my dream home will definitely have a strong Parisian influence in it.

A key feature of traditional Parisian apartments are high ceilings, large windows, large rooms and traditional mouldings.  Many of our humble homes unfortunately do not cater for these options... but we can all dream cant we?

Look at these beautiful white walls with the intricate cornice and ceiling panels, they are so delicate but yet so grand as well!   You'd definitely need high ceilings in your home to make something like this work...but how amazing does it look!


A simpler design with still a Parisian feel is this Vancouver home below, it mixes modern elements in the furnishings, with the timeless elegance and delicateness of the French architecture in the large white windows, the intricate cornice and beautiful fireplace.
 
 This next apartment belongs to French designer and architect Florence Baudoux, it was once owned by the French royal family and was the private residence of the Duke of Montpensier, the fifth son of King Louis Philippe.  She has done a beautiful job in restoring the apartment keeping the character of such an exquisite period in time.        

I love the light grey on the walls mixed with the pink hues in the furnishings...                                  
 
 
Designers’ Gilles & Boissie own this 19th century apartment and furnished it in keeping with the traditional architecture, while adding modern elements from their own collections. 
 
Beautiful large black windows, feature traditional herringbone flooring, light and bright colours
 
The blush pink is such a lovely subtle colour for those beautiful drapes.

Are you in love with this style as much as me? Its so romantic and beautiful! Definitely on my wishlist for my dream home...
