Bringing Paris into Your Home

We recently completed a home that was featured in the most recent issue of Toronto Life. We transformed a dated Casaloma home into a parisian inspired oasis for our client and her family. We’ve always wanted to incorporate our favorite design style, Haussmann and our love for Paris in a project. Haussmann blends classical and modern architecture and design which is a defining feature of Paris. Below we’re sharing ways to incorporate this beloved style in your home that are easy and inexpensive but will create an upscale and sophisticated feel to any home.

Ceiling Medallions

Adding an ornate ceiling medallion behind any light fixture will immediately transform a simple room to a beautiful space. This simple detail will add charm and luxury to any room and enhance light fixtures to give them a more ornate feel.

Herringbone Hardwood Flooring

There is nothing more Parisian than a classic herringbone floor. This will make any space feel larger, more open and more luxurious.

A Statement Fireplace Mantle

A statement mantle (especially a marble one!) is a quintessential feature in Paris homes. This addition will add elegance and luxury to any space. A mantle will add a focal point to a room and can act as a statement piece almost like a piece of art. 

Wall Panelling

Wall panelling is a quick way to add character, texture and depth to a room. It will make a room feel more grandeur and impressive. This will also give you the option to bring in colour to a space by painting the paneling. We tend to gravitate towards creamy whites or puddy tones.

Statement Chandeliers

Our last tip is the easiest way to add that Parisian chicness to your home. A statement chandelier goes a long way in any space.
