Jacques Grange’s Paris Home

Interior Designer Jacques Grange’s Paris home is nothing short of perfection.  And I”m not only saying this because Grange is my top favorite designer.  The classic details of the 18th century architecture sings in perfect harmony with a mixed of Art Deco and contemporary furniture with 18th and 20th century pieces and Objects D’Art.  “Harmony is a question of eye and personal feeling; there is no recipe” says Jacques Grange.  And he sure knows how to accomplish that to perfection.  His book, Jacques Grange: Interiors, published in 2009 was one of the first International Interior Designers book I got and it’s still today a major sourse of inspirations for me.

Jacques Grange’s Paris home overlooks the lush gardens of the Palais Royal and it used to be home to the novelist Colette.  Colette’s stepdaughter offered the apartment to Jacques Grange in 1990.  Grange, not having the money to buy the apartment back then, he instead rented and finally bought it in early 2000’s.  The oack paneled library above is warm and inviting.

Jacques is know for his unique way of using diffrent elements of different periods furniture. “It’s now a place to display and balance in harmony the things I love,” he says.

Love the view of the Palais Royal garden through Grange’s bedroom.  The walls are covered in woven horsehair.

The very chic bedroom has an iron bed, a tapestry hanging above the bed.  The left lamp is by Jean-Michel Frank and the one on the right is by Alberto Giacometti.
