Interior Designer: French Charm & Elegance by Jean-Louis Deniot, Paris

When we talk and think about French interior design, many things come to mind: chandeliers, crown mouldings, chevrons floors and juliet balconies. This apartment, owned by a couple who have longed to lived in Paris for the past 30 years, has it all—in the classical sense, thanks to the designer Jean-Louis Deniot, who was not only responsible for the renovation and decoration, but also to find the apartment that the couple dreamed of.
This 2,300-square-foot Left Bank apartment, graced with 15-foot-high ceilings and nothing less that 21 windows (one of most important requirements), is located in an 18th-century building at the heart of the fashionable Faubourg Saint-Germain. After the renovation, the apartment`s size was reduced to 1,600-square-feet, due to the removal of the mezzanines.
To modernise the French design, a palette of greys, taupes and smoky blues was used. All the rest, is very French!
In the living room, a beautiful marble fireplace adds a dramatic touch
Windows, windows, everywhere including the entryway and gallery.
Mouldings were painted white to give them prominence.
The master bedroom is more neutral. All the windows were double glazed to reduce the noise from the streets below, and
Definitely a French dream pied-à-terre! —Bárbara
