Parisian Apartment

This lavish 2,600 square feet Parisian apartment was designed by Champeau and Wilde, and there is nothing better than merging the old with the new, especially when it is done in such a desirable way.
I appreciate the living room more than anything else; the distinction between the reinstated classical moldings on the wall and the metallic side table is genius, including the gallant wall art in the lobby. I always believe in assimilating at least one piece that is bold and contentious; it adds character.
The kitchen area has been remodelled to convey a refined mid century look; elusive in color and in flair; producing that 30's aura.
Lastly, the bathroom...I. Have. No. Words.

Paul Smith:The New London Flagship Shop

Hello hello to the expansion of Paul Smith's store situated just on Staffaord Street in London Town. And an even bigger hello to the dynamic interior design that is an imppecable setting for the marque!
Firstly, let us appreciate the amount of yellow integrated, if you don't already know, I simply love that color; it adds outright liveliness and soul, especially when it's used as a backdrop for a mixed assortment of wall art. I'm also drawn to the consistency of the sculptures that surrounds the different sections of the store; it conserves a certain flow within the space, which is an essential point that a designer must not neglect.
Another feature that is more than worth mentioning is the creative dominos wall in the women's accessories section. How inventive can one get?
However, what I really did admire about the new shop is the unique exterior made out of cast iron panels that has been explicitly designed according to Smith's very own detailed drawings.
Take a look!
