Pretty in Paris
Posted in Blog on February 3, 2017 by Joanna
Soft blush pink and Fermob's willow green make a delightful combination in the Parisian courtyard of Des Petits Hauts.
French design house Heju transformed the courtyard of a ready-to-wear boutique near the Marais district in Paris. Colour and texture have been used to great effect creating different spaces while maintaining a cohesive aesthetic.
Soft pink tiles create a platform for relaxing. Set against a back drop of a centuries old stone wall, adding a soft, feminine yet contemporary contrast.
Luxembourg Low Armchairs in willow green add to the whimsical feel while inviting you to sit and relax in this charming space.
The soft pink tiles give way to a border of white pebbles and lush perennials with simple japanese stone steps creating the transition to a dining space where raw concrete adds an urban twist.
With colour and texture abound in the floor surfaces and walls the designers have selected complimentary willow green for all furniture and maintained this across both spaces.
Overall the effect is simple and feminie - perfect for a stylish Parisian boutique.
