Interior design projects showcase Parisian and Art Deco styles

Two distinct residential design projects highlight different approaches to classic Parisian elegance and Art Deco aesthetics.

In an exclusive neighborhood near Villa Montmorency, interior architect Lauranne Elise Schmitt transformed a 100-square-meter apartment. The design draws inspiration from both Paris and Marrakech, utilizing a concept of “total story” where most furniture is custom-made to fit the specific layout. The space features Rosso Alba marble, Calacatta Viola marble, and zellige tiles with gold leaf finishes. The renovation preserved original moldings while integrating new elements like a frescoed ceiling and brass lighting.

In a separate 45-square-meter apartment dating from the late 1930s, decorator Ekaterina Kozlova implemented a “classic chic Parisian” style. Inspired by French bourgeois residences and the Empire style, the design emphasizes high ceilings and generous proportions. The color palette includes black, white, emerald green, midnight blue, and gold. Key features include polyurethane moldings that mimic the building's original ornaments, a Louis XV-style white marble decorative fireplace, and velvet drapery.
