Materials are very often one of the first choices we are making ! And when you choose them, there will be here for years and years ! Although it is easy to re-paint a wall, you will not change your flooring every year, nor the tiles in your bathroom ! So choosing your materials carefully is important !
It is important to be aware of cold and warm materials. One common mistake is to have far too many cold materials at home and this prevents you from having a cozy and welcoming atmosphere.
Space by space, we are talking about the best choices !
Happy new yaer to you all !!
In this episode, I wanted to do a summary of all the positive things that happened to me and Bonjour studio in 2020. And I announce you my 2 main goals for 2021, in relation with my big prediction for 2021 ;-)
Here are 5 ideas for your Christmas presents that you may like very much !
- Idea 1 : A voucher for a deco coaching !
We all know someone who would like to change something at home but doesn't know how to do it ! So this gift can help him/her. I would come to his/her home and give all the necessary pieces of advice, tips and ideas to start new changes.
- idea 2 : A candle !
I have a selection of candles from Parisian inspirations regarding the scents. So elegant and subtle 😊
- idea 3: A design object !
Surprising designs and materials guaranted 😊
- idea 4 : Cushions !
I have a selection of cushions at the studio but you can place an order making your own selection ! Which colours, patterns and materials would you go for ?
-idea 5 : A coffee table with integrated loudspeakers or a turntable
You can connect your i-phone to it and the music comes through with an amazing sound.
And last idea, you could also offer a voucher with the amount you wish so that the person can choose exactly what he/she wishes ! Maybe a wallpaper, a light, cushions 😊
I hope that all these ideas will help you and of course don't hesitate to send me questions if you want more information !
Many of you haven’t come yet to « l’appartement » and ask me questions about it and what I am offering. So I will try and explain you everything in details !
When we say that we need inspiration, that we are looking for inspiration, we mean we are looking for new ideasfor our home decoration.
There are several reasons for this but the main one is that we don't have time and don't know where to find new ideas, that we are afraid to make mistakes, not trusting ourselves.
In this episode, I give you 4 sources of inspiration and one last big advice which will change everything for you if you don't succeed in taking actions to improve your decoration !!
I would like to propose you not to take ourselves seriously this week !! I'm going to give you five ideas to have fun in your home decoration, to bring some surprising effects.
So my proposal is to bring some sense of humour in your decoration. So, of course, for me, decoration must be elegant, very stylish and with good taste. But on the contrary, I think that having a few details that bring some sense of humour is really a good idea.
# Idea 1 : a wallpaper
# Idea 2 : a surprising fabric
# Idea 3 : decorate the toilets
# Idea 4 : an unexpected or surprising object
# Idea 5 : to have fun on the walls
There are hundreds of possible ideas. Don't put any limits to your imagination.Try to be curious and don't hesitate to pick any object that you find attractive, that just strikes you. And if you, if you find it funny, it'll tell about you !!
We’re going to talk about electricity and why is it so important to make an electricity drawing, especially when you’re building your house, or renovating your house. So in these two cases, you need to draw a very precise electricity drawing.
When I’m doing an electricity drawing, I have two things in mind, two questions.
We are talking about functional aspects and aesthetic aspects.
I propose you a guided tour of a house to tell you step by step what you should think of when doing an electricity drawing.
Analyse how you’re living in your house, try to project yourself on how you’re moving from one space to the next one. Think of your needs and desires, and this will be perfect for you !!
Today, the kitchen space is following our lifestyle and the kitchen is not viewed only as a space to cook but also as a living-space.
We are not designing our kitchens as before. We don’t have the same conception of cooking than our grandmothers (yes at that time men didn’t cook !!).
In this second episode about designing your kitchen, I tell you about the importance of creating and atmosphere and choosing carefully your materials and collours.
Materials are of course important : on the floor, on the cabinet and on the worktops & splashbacks.
From quartz and acrylic to solid wood, tailor-made worktops can be adapted to your kitchen.
Regarding the colours, let’s say that they are two main possiblilities : choosing your kitchen in neutral shades ( white, grey, black, brown…) but add colours on details (splashbacks, accessories, a wallpaper ? ) or dare a colourful kitchen because the rest of your atmosphere is more neutral.
Everything is possibe, it is just a question of balance and being comfortable with the quantity of colours you are bringing.
Kitchen lighting
One key element is lighting !! A good lighting makes cooking safer, easier and more fun.
My last advice is to ask for some professional help. Designing a kitchen is something complicated. It is difficult to think of all the little details that turns your kitchen into a really perfect space. Kitchen designers do it all day long, so definitely they have less chance to miss something. And don’t hesitate to ask for several proposals : each designer has his own sensibility and one may understand your needs better another.
Today, the kitchen space is following our lifestyle and the kitchen is not viewed only as a space to cook but also as a living-space.
We are not designing our kitchens as before. We don’t have the same conception of cooking than our grandmothers (yes at that time men didn’t cook !!).
In this episode, I tell you about the technical aspects you need to be aware of when designing your kitchen.
When you want to change your kitchen, the first step is to analyse the global space.
Who are you and how do you live ?
Kitchen appliances choices will come immediately after !
In a kitchen we move a lot from one place to another, so check that the distances are satisfactory.
A kitchen must be very functional and easy to organize and tidy.
September is like another January, with lots of new projects, decisions to take, it represents a lot of energy although it is this time of the year when our energy is falling down.
I won’t change the weather, I won’t stop the Covid, I won’t avoid the economic crisis but I have one solution, one tool to live better with these difficulties.
Of course a growth mindset is important, optimism is essential but even if we have an optimistic mind, sometimes we feel more depressed and pessimistic.
So my magical tool is colors !!!!
Yes being surrounded with colors will help you face an eventual seasonal depression and avoid it, avoid feeling fed up. Please have a try and analyse how you feel ! Colour is a question of habits, of being used to living with them. We have forgotten this, but our inner self, spirit knows about this !
I am myself designing my own bathroom right now, so I am going through all the necessary steps to design it from scratch.

Step 1: analyzing your desires and needs
Step 2: drawing the general layout of the space
Step 3: Bring all your choices together in a mood board
Step 4: place the orders and find the best craftsmen
Step 5: the work itself
Step 6: Accessorize your bathroom
Our bathroom is viewed today as an important space at home so even it costs it is worth it !!
