Great living room decorated by Los Angeles home staging aficionado Meridith Baer. Wonderful blend of traditional and modern. Love the architecture of the room too. The bright white elegant coffered ceiling, the sleek fireplace mantel complete with decorative molding and paneling and the fab tall windows that wrap around the room….good and stylish “bones”. Love the decor too…white upholstered sofa and armchairs, the modern art, the turned wood and glass coffee table and all of the accents and details too.

Perfect.

    Wow–fantastic find! Love the windows. Love the painting. Love the coffee table. Love the ceiling…even love the little touch of green with the fabrege egg on the glass side table (i think that’s a fabrege?!)

    It is a beautifully appointed room, BUT the picture above the fireplace looks cough cough too small. And design has to be funciontal, so what do they do for privacy? Sorry… you asked.

    Sorry… after looking at it further, isn’t there a rule that says only the sofa can be half-way onto a rug? I truly think it is a beautiful room… just needs a little tweaking.

    The windows make it. I would add some additional color however for a visual place for the eye to rest. But lovely and soft. Appealing to many!

    Stunning. I love the lightness combined with the bold black elements. The room feels grounded, sophisticated and elegant yet comfortable.

    i love the large piece of art on the wall, but the room feels like a fishbowl with city street (and LA city street at that) right outside on all sides and no privacy. Gorgeous or not, I find it hard to believe people would live in that room unless they were bucking for the own reality show

Nour Arida’s (@nouraridaofficial) Paris apartment Nour Arida’s (@nouraridaofficial) Paris apartment was designed to feel like a little piece of Beirut — a pied-à-terre that keeps her connected to Lebanon while living in France.
Architect Carl Gerges @carlgergesarchitects built the whole interior around warmth and softness: a caramel sofa, a pink kitchen, milky whites throughout. Nothing sharp, nothing cold. The palette reads as indulgent without trying. It’s the kind of space that feels like it was chosen for comfort first and aesthetics second, even though both are clearly considered.
What’s easy to miss is the restraint underneath it all. The softness works because it’s disciplined. Every piece earns its place in the same tonal story.
→ Save this if you’re building a warm, tonal interior from scratch.

New parquet floors, restored panelling, a bespoke staircase, and custom rugs. Every detail shaped by skilled fine craftsmen and a serene, neutral palette drawn from the colours of Paris itself. ✨

Why do Paris apartments feel so much better than e Why do Paris apartments feel so much better than everything else?
While living in this cute 3 bed 2 bath apartment in the 6ème, I realized it comes down to a few things done really well:
• High ceilings
They create space without adding anything
• Herringbone wood floors
Classic, subtle, and never go out of style
• Crown molding + ceiling medallions
The detail that quietly elevates the entire room
• Interior French doors
They give you openness and separation at the same time
• Natural light
The one thing you can’t fake
I’m staying in this adorable pied-a-terre for a two months. It is my sister and brother in law’s place; they invited me to cozy up here on my own while they are back home in LA.
Every room keeps proving the same point. It’s not about adding more. It’s about getting the foundation right.
If you could only bring one of these Paris apartment design elements into your home, which one would it be?

It is warmer here now, but these were the looks I It is warmer here now, but these were the looks I reached for in Paris when the days were still cold. ❄️
I remember building each outfit around a coat or a scarf, with comfortable shoes that could take me anywhere, knowing I would be out for hours just walking.
Nothing overthought, just pieces that felt right for the pace of the day.
What would be your OOTD for a cold day in Paris?
