150-square-metre Parisian Apartment located in a late Haussmann building in the coveted 7th arrondissement – right between two Paris landmarks: the Eiffel Tower and the Musée d’Orsay.

Designer Olga Ashby: “The inspiration for this project stems from the fluidity and effortless elegance of Parisian life, with a contemporary twist. As someone with an international background, I wanted to show how a foreign eye perceives Paris and France.”

Throughout, the designer worked on introducing the outside vibe and beauty of the city to the interiors.

Designer Olga Ashby: “Paris has always had an elegant mix of beige and grey on the fronts of the buildings and I thought it could well be suited for the living room.”

Every room was shaped with circular movement in mind, to ensure a sense of flow and connection between spaces.

Designer Olga Ashby: “The space gives you a pure hedonistic experience when the idea of hosting friends in your house is much more appealing than going out.” 

Designer Olga Ashby: “While avoiding striking contrasts and bold hues, we have sprinkled a bit of colour on the walls in the hallway with the vivid blue artwork ‘Majorelle’ by Natalie Katwal.”
