When my husband recently presented the idea of us finally going to Paris together, I finally started surfing the Internet for cute boutique style hotels to consider during this trip which may or may not take place in the future. (Due to time constraints, there is a Plan B.)
As I looked around for the perfect vacation spot, I found a place called the Hotel Ascot Opera Paris, which had the perfect location and the most adorable decor! Most of the rooms have a huge Parisian mural behind the bed and a contemporary vibe.
I’ve heard a lot of my apartment seeking clients who want a “modern, sterile, hotel like feel” when thinking of their decor, so I can’t help but think of this modern Parisian style. Here in the US, there is a bedding company which is geared more towards the sleek, modern European style called Parachute Home. Parachute products are designed in Los Angeles but crafted in Italy and if this is more your style, check them out! They even have an interesting blog forum on their company perspective for home, decor and things like the difference between percale and sateen.
For me, whether I will get to Paris or not this year, still working on it…we may just have a quick jaunt to the coast of Maine to eat lobster, clam chowder and reflect…either way I found this decor from the Ascot Opera Paris to be delightful and inspiring! It also goes to prove that in small places, sometimes a grand statement doesn’t shrink the room, and small places can have dramatic impact.
