KITCHEN -DINER
It’s the gold that brings this eclectic scheme together. Linking the lights to shelving and baseboard, owner Marie-Ange could then run riot with pattern and still keep it cohesive.

LIVING ROOM
A pair of vintage armchairs pick out the hues of the informally hung art. ‘I love colour because it’s life,’ says Marie-Ange.

Home Profile
THE OWNER
Marie-Ange de Charry, an estate agent and interior designer, and her dog Potiche, a Cavalier King Charles spaniel.
THE PROPERTY
A first-floor apartment in a 19th-century neoclassical building on Paris’ Left Bank. It has a kitchen-diner, living room, two bedrooms, both en suite, a cloakroom and a laundry room.
Even in the depths of a Paris winter, this Left Bank flat is full of joie de vivre. That’s partly down to its vibrant finish, including playful gold speckled wallpaper and jewel-coloured fabrics, and partly down to the fun-loving personality of its owner, Marie-Ange de Charry, a former advertising exec turned interior designer.
