Balmain Paris Store designed by Joseph Dirand via belle vivir

One thing is to decorate homes where families live but a whole different thing is to translate a Fashion brand into a commercial space.  The fabulous Balmain store in Paris was designed by Architect Joseph Dirand and the space, besides being one that translates French perfect art craft in the best way possible is one that I’m sure will inspire its clients and make them feel like royals.  The store design is impeccable and once again Dirand’s amazing Interior Design rests on pure architecture, symmetry, balance and neutral palette.  Immaculate architectural details as wooden parquet floors, ornate wall moldings, elaborate French door pediments are some of the exquisite decorating features in the Balmain store in Paris.
