The Parisian Haussmann style at a glance
Haussmann style is named after Baron Haussmann, who reshaped Paris in the 19th century. His apartments are known for ornate moldings, herringbone parquet, a marble fireplace topped by a large gilt mirror and high ceilings. Today they’re often furnished with a mix of antique and contemporary pieces, which gives that effortless, elegant Parisian chic.
To capture the spirit, highlight the architectural details, then combine a modern sofa, a designer table and one or two antique pieces. Walls stay light to show off the moldings, and a large mirror makes the room feel bigger.
