Step Inside This Parisian Apartment

Imagine waking up every morning to the glorious view of the Eiffel Tower! For the owners of this stylish Parisian apartment, it has become reality. A dream home in a dream location!

A once old and overlooked apartment caught the owners’ attention, who saw its location as its true potential. With a splendid view of the Jardin des Tuileries and an even better vista of the Eiffel Tower, the owners were sold and convinced they knew exactly who they needed to call that would be up for this challenge. Having worked with them on a previous interior design project, they knew to trust Emil Humbert and Christophe Poyet to design their new apartment and give it the excellence they needed.

A total transformation

The duo Humbert & Poyet soon realized that the Parisian apartment required more than just revamping. This apartment had been left on the side for a long time, and everything needed to be revisited. They quite literally had to renovate almost everything. The floor plans also had to be revisited. In the original plan, the kitchen was located at the end of the apartment, and the owners needed it to be more of a focal point of their home. This called for massive changes which would give the home a new flow.

One thing that they tried hard to salvage somehow was the parquet flooring. Since everything else was almost impossible to restore or salvage, the flooring became an icon and a reminder of the apartment’s former existence. They gave it a new chance to shine, and the end result is just extraordinary. It now resembles a Versailles parquet, thanks to the very detail-oriented duo.

When art brings a home to life

The owners were very hands-on and involved in the entire design process. Their exquisite art collection helped Humbert & Poyet with their original plan. The interior was therefore designed around these masterpieces, emphasizing the presence of the artwork just enough to keep the space feeling more like a home and not like a museum.

Therefore, the dining room boasts a beautiful painting by Christopher Wool as its centrepiece. On either side, bespoke cabinets further elevate the space. And finally, in the centre of the room is a gorgeous 10-seater inlaid dining table, designed by Humbert & Poyet themselves. The room becomes a perfect gathering space for friends and family.

The home boasts beautiful finishes that are modern and durable. A custom marble kitchen island is another wonderful feature in the home, but so are the floors, the delicate trim around the ceilings, and of course, the endless views over Paris.
