WHAT YOUR INNER SELF SAYS ABOUT YOU

Classic, minimalist and eclectic

At a time when interiors reveal themselves as freely as clothing styles, our apartments say as much about us as our wardrobes. From Haussmann-style moldings and sleek lofts to bohemian retreats, each aesthetic choice betrays a way of inhabiting the world, a relationship with memory, time and self.

Do you live in a classic, hushed cocoon, in the mineral rigor of radical minimalism or in the travel invitation of joyful eclecticism? Interiors become a sensitive reflection of our inner landscape.

The contemporary classic spirit

If your apartment embraces the codes of classic contemporary style - discreet moldings, reinterpreted upholstered armchairs, bespoke bookcases and a muted palette - then you belong to those who value continuity and understated elegance. Every room seems to be in dialogue with the past, without being confined by it.

Lauren Santo Domingo's New York apartments or Sarah Jessica Parker's peaceful home come to mind, where modernity slips between the lines of heritage.

What does this say about you? You're attached to transmission and to what lasts. Your elegance is natural, almost intuitive. You love objects that stand the test of time, places charged with soul, noble materials. You build your space as you would a memory, a quiet, perennial work of art.

Radical minimalism

An interior of white walls, clean lines and raw materials - marble, waxed concrete, natural linen - reflects a quest for the essential. Here, every object breathes. Nothing is left to chance, every presence is measured.

Like Axel Vervoordt's loft for Kanye West or Kim Kardashian's quiet sanctuary in Calabasas, this minimalism is not coldness but power. A silent manifesto, carved in light.

What does this say about you? You aspire to purity, to alignment between inside and outside. Your demands are a form of gentleness. You live with deliberate rigor, a discipline that opens up breathing space. You're in search of harmony, truth and naked beauty.

Icons and inspirations: Kanye West, Kim Kardashian, Steve Jobs.

Eclecticism under control

Your interior is a poetic patchwork, a dialogue between continents, centuries and inspirations. A Berber rug stands next to a contemporary sculpture, a 50's Danish piece of furniture meets a Japanese print, and the whole creates a coherent world because it's just like you.

Sofia Coppola blends influences with dreamy delicacy, while Lenny Kravitz, in Paris, unfurls an exuberant, sophisticated and intensely personal universe.

What does that say about you? You're a storyteller. Every object is a memory, every piece a story. You like to blur the lines, invent your own rules, invite periods and cultures to engage in dialogue. Your home is an emotional territory, free, moving and deeply alive.
