With sumptuous views of the Arc de Triomphe and the Eiffel Tower, and both iconic landmarks just a stone's throw away, this four-bedroom-apartment ensuite is as romantic as it gets. And nothing short of luxe too. French interior designer Stephanie Coutas of SC Editions oversaw and designed the apartment, which boasts a spacious reception and living areas, kitchen, dining area with a bar, and a wine and cigar cellar.

In line with her penchant for designing plush and modern spaces, and "mixing art de vivre with culture", Stephanie worked with a predominantly white palette, integrating the owner's awe-inspiring collection of antiques in this project. "The Syrian cabinets were the key focus of the overall design. The pieces were gifted to the client by her father, one of the world's greatest specialists of Syrian antiques," says Stephanie. "Their antique collection was so interesting, and it mixed well with a few contemporary art paintings."
