Eclectic Alix Thomsen
7 years ago by
Parfois, quand on pénètre dans un lieu, un espace, tout prend son sens. Et finalement, peu importe comment tous ces objets, éléments, possessions communiquent entre eux de façon harmonieuse quand on aperçoit le mobilier, le cadre qui semble tout droit sorti d’un de vos rêves. Et chez Alix Thomsen, c’est exactement comme ça. Un mélange parfait de charme éclectique, d’élégance tout en sobriété, avec un sens du détail typiquement parisien, … de beaux murs blancs avec de la hauteur sous plafond, des moulages, du parquet en point de Hongrie…
C’est peut-être le parcours d’Alix qui lui a permis de se créer un lieu aussi chaleureux. Après une marque de vêtements éponyme, elle a embrassé une carrière de décoratrice, avec notamment l’intérieur de l’Hôtel du temps à Paris… le design visuel (et son exécution) semble être profondément ancré en elle.
Au-delà des étagères colorées, du gros canapé en cuir et des miroirs décoratifs, ce sont les petits détails qui rendent l’intérieur d’Alix aussi unique. Comme la planche de surf surmontée d’une coiffe indienne et la maquette de l’Empire State Building… dont sa fille, Blanche, avec qui elle partage cet espace, se souviendra longtemps…
Last picture, work place, with all those books, that’s a perfection <3

You really get to know her through the space! PS. Wish I could Pin the background photos of your stories. Those frames are serious inspiration.
I like it but a little too much clutter for my taste.

Des moulures, je suppose, et pas des « moulages »! Pour une fois, l’appartement a l’air d’être vraiment habité…
Interior design to me often means expressing your interior.Taking what interests , thoughts, feelings and tastes and creating an environment!Beautiful rooms.

If Parisian apartments weren’t the ideal mix of everything I love in interior design, I’d be definitely becoming a huge fan of them right now. This apartment is stunning. Fresh, laid back and with all those Parisian features that I can’t stop thinking about. (sigh ;)

What a beautiful, charming home. I am pinning every one of these images! <3
I am loving that peacock feather shirt she’s wearing and keep coming back to it. Is it still available anywhere? The H&M alternative is gauzy instead of silky.
What a beautiful, charming home.
I’m ageing myself in saying this but I’ve been following Garance’s work for the better part of a decade. I love her aesthetic, energy and how the blog has grown into such a special community. How time flies!
I would, however, be remiss if I didn’t mention that I’m deeply surprised and disappointed to see a war bonnet stylized in the home of a white, blonde Parisian woman. War bonnets are certainly beautiful, however they are utterly sacred to many indigenous peoples in North America. With many high profile condemnations of celebrities for using something so sacred as ‘fashion’ I’m quite surprised that the team here was unaware to the point of overlooking this fact. The war bonnet is a symbol of strength and spirituality for a people that have suffered genocide at the hands of settlers.
Please, continue to spread beauty through this community. But educate yourselves. This is not appropriate.

I completely agree with this comment and it’s dissappointing to see that a year later the picture is still used in the story (and referenced in the article). Hopefully next time the editors will be more sensitive to these kinds of issues.
Beautiful pictures…keep up the good work
not sure if my last comment was posted well here…
