In the Opera neighborhood of Paris, Hélène Pinaud and Julien Schwartzmann of Heju Studio were called upon to renovate an 800 square foot apartment. Drawing on the owners’ penchant for the English countryside, Heju utilized natural hues and modern decor to counterbalance the classical Parisian quality of the building. With a “minimalist and uncluttered spirit,” as Heju explains, the small living area is designed with just the right amount of furniture and color. Here, we list the key elements to recreate the look.
