I have heard that the biggest part of IKEA's business is from fabric sales, and NOT home goods?!!?! Could that be true, or is that fact imMATERIAL? (ha-ha)

The piscine paint is welcoming like a pool and makes you want to dive into your adorable apartment. Channeling Tiffany blue was a great reference point to start with because good things do come in small packages and what you’ve created a fantastic French fantasy flat with only 200 sq ft.

The planters were an interesting solution for the slanted wall, but you might want to consider covering that couch wall with mirror or mirrored tiles. It would create visual roominess and reflect in that precious Parisian sunlight from the balcony. If the ceiling is high enough, you could accent in a simple white or red shelf above the balcony door for example. It would allow you to store your books and eliminate the need for your bookcase. Maybe the pictures on top of it could find a new home hung on the “B” wall? Your boxes or anything else could also benefit from this concept of implementing shelf storage. Essentially the idea is to utilize high shelves to free up more floor space. But don’t mind me if you prefer the cozy comfort of your petit palais, because after all …you are newlyweds. Congrats!
