A designer’s Paris apartment

Located in Paris’s 14eme arrondissement, Jessica Helgerson lovingly designed this 550 sq ft apartment for herself and her family. She took inspiration from the 14eme itself, a neighborhood with a village-like feel: abundant community gardens, quiet streets, mutual aid associations, and influence of many resident artists past and present. The apartment is playful and pastoral, with a rich palette of greens and filled with art made almost entirely by friends. The mural in the bedroom was hand-painted by Jessica to reflect the view out the window – leafy, green, and full of joy. Nearly all the furnishings are antiques sourced at Paris flea markets and elsewhere in France. The ceiling light fixtures are part of a lighting line designed by Jessica.
This apartment is so full of joy and light, and that green tile is STUNNING. J’adore! Photos: Aaron Leitz.
