Frequently asked questions
How do you renovate a Haussmann apartment in Paris?
Preserve original features (mouldings, parquet, fireplaces) while modernising systems (electricity, plumbing). Hire an interior architect who specialises in period properties. Budget between 1,000 and 2,500 euros/sqm depending on the scope. Check the co-ownership regulations before starting.
What are the interior design trends in Paris in 2026?
Parisian apartments in 2026 favour natural materials (stone, wood, linen), soft tones (beige, terracotta, sage green) and maximised natural light. The style blends contemporary pieces with period elements for a result that is both timeless and personal.
How can you add value to a Parisian apartment before reselling?
Focus on the kitchen and bathroom (the rooms buyers scrutinise most), optimise natural light, refresh walls with neutral paint. Light home staging can increase perceived value by 5-10% without major investment.
