Parisian Chic: Je ne sais quoi
The duo behind Maison Lévva reunite in Paris, delving into the splendour of French architecture, the classical European elegance, and the romantic allure that the city exudes. The Parisian aesthetic is a timeless style that epitomizes sophistication and possesses a certain ‘je ne sais quoi’—an indescribable charm. Central to this design philosophy is the art of marrying classic elements from historical brilliance with contemporary nuances of our era, crafting a harmonious balance that exudes both luxury and warmth.
The quintessence of Parisian chic lies in honouring the traditional architectural bedrock of a space while weaving in vibrant, personal accents that mirror the homeowner’s preferences and way of life. We cherish the classic white wall mouldings, often adorned with elaborate patterns, the rich texture of parquet wood flooring, and the luminous effect of lofty ceilings and expansive windows that invite daylight to dance across the rooms.
Continuing this inspiration, Maison Lévva’s upcoming curated collection for June is drawn from the city’s iconic style and culture. Honouring beautiful craftsmanship and fine detail, from the carefully selected materials to the meticulous construction that echoes the French dedication to excellence. Whether it’s a vintage chandelier that casts a golden glow over a modern minimalist table or an antique mirror reflecting the sleek lines of a contemporary sculpture, the dialogue between the old and the new is ever-present, creating a living space that is not just seen but felt.
At Maison Lévva, we are driven by how things make us feel. Just as we feel for Paris; it's not just the city's beauty that captivates; it's the feeling it evokes—a sense of romance, sophistication, and a deep appreciation for the finer things in life. This Parisian charm is something many wish to emulate in their own homes, bringing a piece of the city's spirit into their daily lives. To capture this essence, we explore balancing the old with the new, creating spaces that feel both grand and intimate at the same time.
Home Decorating Ideas:
To bring Parisian elegance into your home, start with a neutral colour palette—creams, beiges, and soft greys—that provides a versatile backdrop for more ornate elements. Add texture and depth with luxurious fabrics like velvet and silk, and choose furniture with clean lines and subtle curves.
Incorporate gilded elements, such as gold-framed mirrors or brass hardware, to add a touch of opulence. Don't shy away from incorporating statement pieces, whether it's a bold piece of art or a patterned rug, to give your space character and a focal point.
Lighting is crucial in achieving that Parisian ambiance. Opt for soft, layered lighting with a mix of floor lamps, table lamps, and candles to create a warm and inviting atmosphere.
Finally, remember that Parisian style is not just about the visual; it's about creating a space that feels lived-in and loved. Incorporate personal touches, such as family heirlooms or personal hobbies to make your space truly your own.
By drawing inspiration from Paris's architectural and interior design, you can infuse your home with a sense of elegance and charm that is both timeless and distinctly personal. Embrace the Parisian way of living, where beauty and comfort coexist in perfect harmony. Bonne décoration!
