Lichelle Silvestry Transforms a Haussmann Apartment into a Parisian Oasis <\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Lichelle Silvestry, founder and principal of her Paris-based studio, tackled the challenge of a complete renovation, decoration and turnkey project for a couple in their early 30s. The homeowners\u2014a storytelling consultant from the U.S. and a French native who runs a fintech company\u2014enlisted Silvestry\u2019s help for a historic, 19th-century apartment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The couple, who splits their time between France and their ranch house near Lake Michigan, asked Silvestry<\/a> to create a functional yet cozy refuge in the city’s ninth arrondissement. \u201cWe reorganized the layout to create an open plan in the common areas by incorporating a kitchen near the living room, and getting modern comforts such as air conditioning, plenty of storage, walk-in closets, and a spacious bathroom ensuite,\u201d says the interior designer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To bring some warmth and brightness to the 1,615-square-foot space, Silvestry introduced a light color palette combined with earthy accent tones as well as creamy and stone natural textures. \u201cFor example, we installed an Ananbo panoramic wallpaper in sepia tones with an oasis-like motif in the master bedroom,\u201d says Silvestry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For this apartment nestled in an elegant Haussmann building, one of the other main objectives consisted in respecting the architecture from the past characterized by an old fireplace, cornices and moldings. The newly created arches and the low elongated sofa in the living area\u2014among other elements\u2014complement the welcoming atmosphere where materials such as natural oak, plaster, terrazzo, travertine marble and brass result in a balanced and peaceful home in the heart of Paris. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
