I too have read all the comments and think that one of the main reasons people out there want to clutter up this apt and/ or find it dark and gloomy is simply a cultural difference. I have lived on both sides of the pond ( aka the Atlantic). I was born in Europe & lived there for many, many years. However I am an American citizen and now live in NY ( not that anyone cares) and European living (at least for now- still) is much more about quality rather than quantity. This includes quality of the light,( which is AMAZING in Paris), the paint , the age of the floor, the moldings , the details etc., etc. I think the apt is STUNNING; it remains understated and chic and screams intelligence. Sadly ( don’t shoot me) if an average American would get their hands on this place the only thing one would notice is the incredible ability to find, buy and display ( not always so well either) mounds of useless trash and sadly if new then usually made from some kind of hideous petroleum based product. The French are not Walmart shoppers, nor do they base their successes and failures in life on which sale they were able to attend or what 20% off coupon they could use!!! This goes for the rest of Europe too ( though sadly Britain has lost it’s stiff upper lip and seems to be looking more like mini America land) And for all of you out there who might feel like attacking me now.. I like the States very much. I have a successful business here and there is no other Nation in the world that will pull out the wallet faster when someone or another country asks for help. The united states should be known for their generosity if anything. Love Design Sponge too!! Fabulous Stuff.

After reading all the comments in here and looking back to the photos I would like to add: I was so taken by the space and features that i didn’t realised about the decor so much. If I had this flat I would do so much with it, it currently look as it is a work in process and that is what probably is as this photos were taken just as this family moved in. But knowing their clothing line, very simple and neutral I can see how this flat and decor match their creative work.
I like it anyway…

It makes me want to listen to some light classical music. I would want to stay in all day in this home.

I’ve been trying to convince my boyfriend we need theater seats and a chalkboard.

Beautiful!

One of my least favorite sneak peaks. Lack of color and the walls are so empty. I don’t like the rusted frames in the dining room, something more colorful is what this dining room needs. And the boxes on the floor next to the couch in the living room? Not really stylish.
As a non French also living in Paris I see many apartments like these here – lacking color, except for black, brown, white and grey. The apartment is great though and has lots of possibilities.
