At French Quarters we love finding inspiration by peeking into the homes of top designers (via magazines, of course) to see how they interpret French design and express their French influences. Hence, we could not help but share an article we came across in an earlier 2011 issue of Architectural Digest which features a collection of particularly stylish Parisian apartments. Here are a few photos of our favorite designer apartments from this article.

The Parisian pied-à-terre of Designer Juan Montoya is a stunning combination of antiques and modern elements. 

It’s hard to resist being swept away by the airy and elegant feel of Jean-Paul Beaujard’s apartment on the top floor of a 1910 building in Paris. 

The 4,000-square-foot Paris apartment of New York interior designer Penny Drue Baird upholds the perfect balance of sophistication and softness.  

See how these apartments can inspire you to decorate your own Arkansas home using 18th century and 19th century antiques brought straight from Paris to our French Quarters showroom located at 11 North Block Avenue in Fayetteville, Arkansas.
