Philosophy

Let your home improve your life

Nowadays in the intercity, many prefer smaller dwellings given the price per square meter and the need to live in urban areas. Our interior designer in Paris must answer this problem.

architecture-paris-foch-114

The big question is how to give these small spaces the sensation of greatness and comfort that one could only find in large, luxurious apartments, or even custom designed homes.

This is our goal. It is precisely when the available space is scarce that imagination and creativity are required, allowing one to forget the smallness of the place. However, the solutions are sometimes variable. Quite often, they are inspired by daring ideas applied in commercial spaces and then transposed on the individual habitat.

And where interior architectural interventions reach their limit, the art and science of interior design take over, with synergistic solutions encompassing lighting and flooring as well as special effects of quality wallpapers, high quality paints and ceiling decorations.

By mixing lighting and color, we positively affect the potential habitants overall perception of dimensions and space (e.g., his way of life).

We can custom-design spaces to honor special requests and exceed expectations: including a very rare building material, creating a sculpture with special significance, or adding a simple “touch of class”— all in the spirit of combining quality with aesthetics to increase cost/ratio value of urban spaces under our management.

Our renovation philosophy is not just about visual effects. We go further to redesign living spaces by merging or dividing rooms to maximize the positive living experience of a small space.We can also make your space more peaceful and enjoyable by creating and installing customized home electronics solutions for entertainment and leisure.

Every living space should have the basics: a sleeping space, a dining area, a living area and a bathroom. Herold Design goes beyond the basics to create a unique experience for potential habitants. No two homes are identical. Our team of experts can help you make the unique character of your living space become a reality.

Mr Erwan Rumen/ Humanitarian coordinator

“Lionel, Jolanta and the team were fantastic. My small apartment had to be completely renovated and the result was exceptional. The many difficulties involved in this type of small space were overcome thanks to their skill, their very sure taste and their great professionalism. I’m delighted to have had occasion to request their services.

Monsieur Christophe Clave / CEO of an investment company

“A few years ago, we completely renovated our family apartment located in the 6th arrondissement of Paris with the Herold Design team. Lionel Barde and his team were very attentive from the first discussions and was able to offer us a complete and detailed project.We were in constant contact throughout the realization of the work which was completed in accordance with the specifications, plans and sketches, on time and within the budget.Several years after the end of the work, we have maintained cordial relations with Lionel and his team who are always available and competent to intervene with us if necessary. For us, this constitutes a very good collaboration.”

Monsieur Gérard Millet / Company president

“Undertaking the complete renovation of a large apartment in Paris while living in Hong Kong during the Covid epidemic was a challenge. We were lucky to find Herold Design to meet this challenge with flying colors. Lionel Barde and his team respected our general views of what we wanted to achieve and, through long distance dialogue, oriented our choices particularly with regards to color scheme and the choice of materials. The execution was excellent down to the most minute detail. We are absolutely delighted with the result : an elegant and modern environment while preserving the Art Deco original architecture.”

Monsieur Frédéric BOULTE / Lawyer in Paris

“We entrusted HEROLD DESIGN last year with the complete renovation of our duplex in Boulogne (living room, dining room, floor, bathroom, bedroom). Knowing Lionel Barde well, I had had time to appreciate other past achievements. The result is sublime and we are fully delighted. We appreciated the preparation phase, the attentive listening that the team has always shown, the personalized appointments with each supplier to choose together the materials and the appropriate furniture, congratulations and thank you Lionel and Jolanta.”

Monsieur Franck COLLET / Général Manager, USA

«”I wanted to revive this apartment that I inherited from my grandparents and in which have passed memorable moments as a child. Living abroad, I couldn’t manage to administer such a project. Lionel and his team of interior architects knew how to understand my demands and to advise me in a simple, yet attentive way. We have fixed a budget, a result and a deadline. I didn’t have to worry about anything. When I received the keys of the apartment, I was deeply moved when I saw that, even though the apartment had changed a lot, it had kept its spirit and authenticity. I can only recognize the efficiency, the professionalism and the amiability of the team. A big “Thank you!”»
