In the words of French philosopher Gaston Bachelard, “… the house shelters daydreaming, the house protects the dreamer, the house allows one to dream in peace.” However, how many houses can boast a décor that can inspire dreaming? Not that many, you’d agree.  More importantly, very few homes can safely be called a dream turned into reality.

The house we will show you today shelters the “dream” and “protects the dreamer” too.It is located in Le Chesnay, a part of suburban Paris. From the city centre, you can easily reach it in little over half an hour.  Some of the old landmarks here claim to have a direct association with Napoleon Bonaparte but this house is every bit modern as it could possibly be. Let’s step inside to appreciate the beauty of this French maison.

Overview

The interior of this house has been renovated and stylised by Hélène de Tassigny. It has been reconfigured and expanded, keeping in mind the tastes and preferences of the current owners. 

For more than a decade now Hélène de Tassigny has been practicing her crafts in and around Paris. She is an ardent admirer of contemporary aestheticism, art and crafts. Her sense of style is reflected in the interior of this gracefully designed home.

Not often do we begin our survey of a home from its study. But this time, inspired by the sunlit interior of this charming office, we decided to make an exception. Not that the other parts of the building are any less elegant, of course – this study area can just be considered the epitome of modern design sensibility.

Home office

The large entrance to the home office leads onto the living room. The black and white stripes on the wall look remarkable enough. 

Wooden flooring adds a sense of warmth, and a simple study table is accompanied by one of Charles and Ray Eames’ iconic chairs. The potted plant is also responsible for inducing an element of cheerfulness in the atmosphere. A simple bookcase, housing several books as well as a few decorative items, occupies a comparatively small space.

Here you can see how a careful selection of fine articles can create a very graceful interior, which is at once homey and comfortable. A modern chaise lounge, along with a couple of stylish bright orange chairs, creates a lively space. The contemporary TV cabinet and simple shelves are set against one of the walls.

An interplay between lilac grey and white can be seen on the wall, furniture and curtains. A pair of trendy table lamps decorate the mantelpiece. Large doors give access to the terrace outside, and windows increase the charm of the interior.

Kitchen

The kitchen was expanded and made functional according to modern standards. It has a stylish interior, that is, in spite of its oblong shape. 

Elaborate cabinets store all the essentials of a modern kitchen. The kitchen counter is the focal point of the room.

Dining room

Though small and stylised with a handful of items, the décor of this dining room is nothing less than delicious. A small dining table accompanied by a set of modish chairs occupy the focal point. Chic pendant lighting hangs from the ceiling. 

One of the walls is lined with stylish cabinets. A sliding doorway gives access to a narrow corridor and the other sections of the building.

Bedroom

The interior of this attic bedroom is decorated with twin beds, nightstands, simple stools, a chair, table and floor lamps. Other noteworthy features include bookshelves which also act as storage units and the carpeted flooring.

Bathroom

Those who are trying to decorate a stylish bathroom in a limited space can take inspiration from this one. The skylight installations and a large frameless mirror give the small confinement an expansive feel. Bathroom cabinets under the wash basins  eliminate some of the storage concerns.

Media room

Now, we come to the elegantly decorated media room, stylised with a snug grey sofa, tv cabinet and bookcases. The stylish feature wall creates a nice contrast with the monochromatic carpet. A spiral staircase gives access to the upper floor level. This indeed is a classy way of enjoying an evening in relaxation.
