Decor and Design Week #290 (France Special)
A special feature on France: ten inspiring interiors spotted in the best decorating magazines. Designer or contemporary decor
Every Sunday, this column returns with a simple idea: to save those who love designer decor, contemporary, or even classic one, the hours wasted browsing from site to site. Planetdecoworld reads, sifts through, and selects everything that might interest you. What ends up here has passed a filter: that of genuine interest and curiosity.
It might be an apartment that catches the eye because it dares to do something different. An interior that solves a problem with ingenuity. A renovation that proves you can do better with less. It’s this kind of content that makes up this weekly selection, week after week.
This edition takes a tour of France without leaving the pages of the best French interior design magazines. From Paris to Bordeaux, from Aix-en-Provence to Lille, today’s selection is 100% French.
We start in the South, in Aix-en-Provence, where interior designer Laure Galippe has completely renovated a 1960s house. It’s nestled in an olive grove. And after several years in Lisbon, its owner is making a fresh start there. Find it here.
We then head up to Paris, which naturally takes center stage in this edition. In Saint-Germain-des-Prés, a 52sqm duplex embraces the British cottage style. Decorated with patterns and subtle hues, it was designed by Joy de l'Hermite. Find it here.
In the Montmartre neighborhood, Pauline Dupond Bischoff has reinvented a 110sqm space by infusing it with a Mediterranean spirit. It features bold colors and a proper home office. Find it here.
Further on, Clémentine and Victor’s apartment offers something quite rare. Indeed, it boasts a view of the Eiffel Tower on one side and the Sacré-Cœur on the other. Find it here.
In the 9th arrondissement, the Hauvette & Madani firm has designed a contemporary Art Deco duplex in Pigalle. We love the mix of custom-made furniture, vintage pieces, and works of art. Find it here.
And a 60sqm south-facing space, left untouched for thirty years, has been completely transformed by architect Thibaut Picard. Its vibrant colors and custom-made furniture are striking and inspiring. Find it here.
We leave Paris for its beautiful western suburbs, where a Belle Époque villa topped with colorful shingles is up for sale. Over a century old, in perfect condition, with a wine cellar and chandeliers galore. Find it here.
Next, we head to Lille, where the founder of Balzac Paris has left the capital. She has settled her family in a home where light and natural materials reign supreme. Find it here.
And in Bordeaux, a 25sqm studio with preserved woodwork and moldings, transformed by the Ouvrage studio. They created a separate bedroom using a glass partition and a clever reconfiguration of the spaces. Find it here.
Finally, we end back in Bordeaux with this townhouse featuring a garden and pool currently on the market, which harmoniously blends traditional features with modern comfort. Find it here.

The idea is to highlight, not to replace. This section functions as an editorial address book and is not intended to replace the magnificent issues of the magazines we love.
The styles featured follow no imposed guidelines. This special France edition blends the Parisian Haussmann-style duplex with the renovated Provençal house. But also the optimized compact studio and the Belle Époque villa.
And furthermore, the renowned interior designer and the real estate find. It is precisely this diversity that makes the section useful. It exposes readers to worlds they might not necessarily have sought out on their own.
Interior design evolves and trends shift, sometimes quickly, sometimes slowly. Some ideas take years to find their way into everyday homes after being photographed in avant-garde apartments. Others disappear as quickly as they appeared. Following this section every week means keeping an eye on these changes.
That way, there’s no need to subscribe to a dozen magazines. It’s also, quite simply, the pleasure of looking at beautiful interiors every week, ones you might have missed, and which we’re delighted to share with you.
