After searching for the perfect Paris apartment that could double as an atelier for five years, Laure Nell Interiors founder and principal Laetitia Laurent fell in love with this 415-square-foot pied-à-terre that packs a punch. Situated in the coveted Golden Triangle area in the 8th arrondissement—between avenue Montaigne, avenue des Champs-Elysées and avenue George V—the apartment was destined to be fashionable. The building’s Hausmannian architecture and a charming interior courtyard make way for modern interior architectural detailing that had been done during a previous renovation. Hardwood floors with deep black knotting, slatted wood paneling, and blue lacquer in the built-ins gave the apartment an interesting contemporary twist against the otherwise classic backdrop, including the original fireplace from the Hausmann era. Laure Nell Interiors played up this dichotomy with playfully curated furnishings and lighting found during Paris Design Week: a mid-century Tulip table in the dining room, a coffee table from the NV Gallery x J’aime tout chez toi capsule collection, and a fireside chair from Popus Editions, a Paris-London furniture line with a restrained French take on British-inspired hues. In the bedroom, black and white details nod to Coco Chanel and ochre-colored bedding keeps the aesthetic current. A pendant from Oi Soi Oi lends the room a minimalist Asian element reminiscent of Laurent’s time in Kyoto. Thanks to tall ceilings and the mezzanine loft space that had been added above the kitchen, the apartment exudes a feeling of grandeur despite its small footprint. Photos by Gilles Trillard

When purchasing a new home, clients often inherit outdated spaces that are either dysfunctional or simply unappealing. Such was the case for a couple who came to me with a cramped primary bathroom. Defined by an unmistakable 1980s aesthetic and a truly perplexing layout, the space was divided into a maze of enclosed areas, including a walled-in shower and an awkward corner vanity. By fully gutting the room, we were able to reimagine it from the ground up, creating a space that feels open, expansive, and inviting. With the partition walls removed, natural light now flows freely throughout. The design direction, guided by the clients, centers on calm and serenity. A restrained palette of pale marble and sky-blue accent tiles—laid in a herringbone pattern at the vanity and echoed in the generous shower—creates a quiet sense of rhythm and ease. There is nothing to distract, nothing to disrupt—just a soothing space to begin the day or unwind in the evening. Photos: Bernardo Grijalva

This neutral bedroom served as the starting point for three distinct interior design concepts. The original room features a simple functional layout, a restrained color palette and minimal decorative details. Its proportions and main architectural elements were retained, while the furniture, lighting, materials, colors and decor were reimagined in each transformation.

This master bathroom is designed as a spa-like retreat, defined by its oversized wall-to-wall vanity and expansive walk-in shower. A freestanding tub is positioned as a sculptural focal point, enhancing the sense of calm and luxury. Clean lines, continuous surfaces, and a restrained material palette create a seamless, airy feel, while thoughtful detailing brings warmth and sophistication to the space.

Mixed shower fixtures and tonal stone surfaces emphasize layered functionality while maintaining a restrained palette.

The primary bath features a curbless double shower enclosed in low-iron frameless glass for maximum clarity and minimal visual obstruction. Dual shower heads provide a shared spa experience while maintaining a clean architectural profile. A custom stone bench runs between the soaking tub and shower, functioning as both a bath shelf and integrated shower seat. The shower floor slopes seamlessly without a curb, reinforcing the uninterrupted flow of the space. Large-format tile, warm neutral flooring, and expansive glazing create a restrained, architectural composition that connects interior bathing rituals with the surrounding landscape.
