Why do Paris apartments feel so much better than everything else?

While living in this cute 3 bed 2 bath apartment in the 6ème, I realized it comes down to a few things done really well:

• High ceilings
They create space without adding anything

• Herringbone wood floors
Classic, subtle, and never go out of style

• Crown molding + ceiling medallions
The detail that quietly elevates the entire room

• Interior French doors
They give you openness and separation at the same time

• Natural light
The one thing you can’t fake

I’m staying in this adorable pied-a-terre for a two months. It is my sister and brother in law’s place; they invited me to cozy up here on my own while they are back home in LA.

Every room keeps proving the same point. It’s not about adding more. It’s about getting the foundation right.

If you could only bring one of these Paris apartment design elements into your home, which one would it be?
