Vermilion Splendour

Eclectic and unique with a vintage vibe, this visually stunning three-bedroom apartment overflows with colour and artistic flair. A touch of the theatrical? The aura of an art gallery? A room with a view of Notre-Dame? You’ll find all this and more waiting for you at this magnificent home in the 4th arrondissement in the city’s historical heart of the Marais. Located in the quaint Île de la Cité, this home boasts a setting in perhaps one of the city’s most desirable enclaves. Once a favourite with famous artists and writers, today the neighbourhood has an unrivalled Parisian atmosphere with chic boutiques, gardens and a buzzing café culture, with the iconic Île Saint-Louis just over the river. LIVING & DINING AREA Budding writers and artists will find their creative side awakened while musing in the sumptuous surroundings of the elegant, light-filled drawing room. A gentle blue background, with rich velvet furnishings, eclectic artwork and refined parquet floors sets the scene of a bygone era of romanticism, salon culture and opulence. French doors lead to the dining room with vivid vermilion walls and glass chandeliers accentuating the period charm. KITCHEN Adding a contemporary burst is the glorious black and coral kitchen which blends perfectly with the cascade of colour in the dining area. PRINCIPAL BEDROOM Radiant reds continue in the principal bedroom setting off the striking chinoiserie-inspired cabinets and adding a note of colour against the crisp white linens on the king-sized bed. BEDROOM TWO A delicate shade of sand beige rings the change, yet the apartment’s distinctive tone remains with a retro egg pod chair and full-height panelled wall mirror. There’s a generous-sized bed for comfort and a home working desk overlooking the leafy street below that will undoubtedly provide welcome inspiration. BEDROOM THREE Tints of blue bring an instantly relaxing mood to the third bedroom, home to a large double bed. The dazzling décor continues including touches such as a pair of orange Ghost chairs. BATHROOMS The main family bathroom lightens the colour way with its contemporary cream marble look and comprises a shower, bathtub and wash basin. The second bathroom incorporates a shower and sink, finished in slate grey tones. Bathroom three notably features a striking door covered in hundreds of sea shells with the walls an ocean-inspired turquoise, reminiscent of a day at the seaside.
