Take an up-close look at the creations of some of the city\u2019s trendiest young designers.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Nancy Geernaert<\/h3>\n

Nancy Geernaert is our design crush of the moment. Belgian by nationality and from a family of architects, she set up her own design studio, Just-in<\/strong>, in 2008 and is profoundly influenced by nordic culture.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy style? A mix of the timeless and the unplanned. Total originality isn\u2019t what I\u2019m looking for because, for me, something becomes personal when you mix together different influences. An apartment with an overall look soon becomes boring and hard on the eye. To feel good in an interior space you need some original elements but also some familiar things to help you find your bearings. That\u2019s especially true in rental apartments. They have to have something universal about them, they can\u2019t be too idiosyncratic.<\/em>\u201d N. Geernaert<\/p>\n

Cristina V\u00e9lani<\/h3>\n

An interior designer who trained at the highly-regarded Boulle school of fine arts and crafts in Paris, Cristina specialises in the interior layout and design of smaller spaces both for individual clients and for hotels and restaurants.<\/p>\n

Cristina Velani: \u201cMy sources of inspiration are nature and fine materials and fabrics, anything that has a calming effect and makes us feel good.
\nI think that the main thing in a living space is a sense of well-being and relaxation that you feel as soon as you come through the door. You create that ambiance through a harmony between positive and negative volumes, colours, shadows and light, and an openess that allows for movement.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

Olivia Cognet<\/h3>\n

Olivia, the young creative director for Apologie<\/a> shoes, says she long dreamed of buying a townhouse to renovate according to her own taste. Now she\u2019s succeeded !<\/p>\n

Olivia Cognet:\u00a0\u201cWhen my husband and I decided to buy an apartment, I\u2019d really had enough of central Paris…
\nWe wanted somewhere green, we wanted a terrace, a house, and a neighbourhood with some warmth and charm that would remind us of the towns in the south of France where we grew up.
\nIt was a big challenge finding something with character and a terrace in central Paris…
\nWe were the first people to view this house when it went on sale and we fell in love with it immediately. That said, we had to redo the whole house, but we enjoyed the process!
\nWe created the terrace from what had been a parking space on the street and redecorated the whole place from floor to ceiling, starting with a blank slate, which is the perfect way of doing it.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

In\u00e8s le Stradic<\/h3>\n

A design enthusiast and an apartment owner in Paris<\/a>, In\u00e8s le Stradic loves looking for furniture at Paris\u2019s Saint-Ouen flea market.<\/p>\n

In\u00e8s: \u201cI wanted more of a vintage style than in my previous apartments, something more in line with the feel of the neighbourhood. I think the bedroom works really well: wallpaper always makes rooms more inviting and I love the mix of contemporary and Fifties furniture. My favourite things? The dressing table in the bedroom, the wicker chairs, and the decorative objects from Les Puces [the Parisian flea market].<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

Fran\u00e7ois Millot<\/h3>\n

A freelance architect since 2004, Fran\u00e7ois Millot specialises in the renovation of apartments in Paris and particularly in the design and layout of smaller spaces. Understated without being a minimalist, Millot consistently shows a respect for existing space and materials and retains a feel for a building\u2019s history no matter how resolutely contemporary his design.<\/p>\n

On the subject of the apartment in the Avenue de Suffren: “Connecting three former staff bedrooms created a charming studio in the eaves. The bedroom space is separated from the sitting room by a range of closets, which also allows for a small desk at one end. In spite of its size, the kitchen still has a dining area beneath a large window which floods the apartment with light.
\nTo make the apartment even brighter, we used light tones when it came to choosing fabrics and materials so as not to break up the space with too much visual information. We also used the sloping roof to discretely add storage space. Enlarging the bay between the kitchen and the sitting room created a nice flow between the two spaces and made them both seem larger.<\/em>”<\/p>\n
