THINGS PARIS TAUGHT ME ABOUT DESIGN. 🇫🇷
Notes from a city that gets the details right.
01 / SMALL DOESN’T HAVE TO FEEL SMALL.
Good design isn’t about how much space you have. It’s about what you do with it.
02 / BE BRAVER WITH MATERIALS.
In a small space, one bold material can have more impact than lots of different ideas.
03 / COLOUR DOESN’T HAVE TO SHOUT.
Burgundy. Stone. Brass. Three materials, one beautifully restrained palette.
04 / IT’S ALL ABOUT THE DETAILS.
Switches. Handles. Taps. Hardware. The smallest details can completely change how considered a room feels.
05 / OLD AND NEW LOOK GREAT TOGETHER.
Not everything needs replacing. Age, patina and imperfection are often the things that give a space its soul.
06 / FUNCTION CAN STILL BE BEAUTIFUL.
The practical parts of a home deserve just as much design attention. Even a splashback can become the thing you remember.
07 / GOOD DESIGN IS HOW A PLACE MAKES YOU FEEL.
The best spaces aren’t necessarily perfect. They’re layered, characterful and memorable.
Paris, you were a feast for the eyes. I’ll be borrowing a few things. 🇫🇷
