Creative Paris

Viewed from the streets, Paris is where true inspiration lies. But stepping inside–where real Parisians live, work, and create–makes the heart beat stronger.

For the past decade, French online phenomenon My Little Paris has divulged the city’s best-kept secrets in fashion, interiors, and lifestyle to some four million subscribers. Now, this creative young team takes us inside thirty-four of their own homes and creative spaces, sharing Paris’s freshest interior inspiration.

In a relaxed apartment on the edge of the Canal Saint-Martin, an aquamarine accent wall complements a vintage fridge and matching coffee mugs–setting the tone with the vibrant hue. Birdcages, vinyl records, and colorful kimonos mingle harmoniously with vintage photographs, dazzling African wax cushions, and contemporary art. The view from a tiny sixth-floor walk-up reveals slate rooftops and open sky, while inside, in fashion-showroom style, a pair of silver Margiela designer boots, a plush orange bomber jacket, and a hot pink visor pepper the furniture. The My Little Paris workspace in an old carousel factory in Montmartre includes a “dream room,” green wall, and rooftop terrace overlooking Sacré-Coeur.

This insider’s tour of Paris is made possible only through the abracadabra magic of the team behind Paris’s most popular lifestyle start-up. Their interiors–each sparkling with Parisian style–provide home inspiration and are rich with ideas for sparking creativity.
