The great couturier Coco Chanel once said that “Simplicity is the keynote of all true elegance”. This sensibility became the catalyst for modern society’s definition of what is “in good taste”.
Chanel’s aesthetic of understated luxury made an impact to every facet of society – from fashion, to fragrance, even to interior design. She once said that “an interior is a natural projection of the soul” and true to her words, the elegance of Coco Chanel permeated to her décor.
From her atelier at 31 rue Cambon to her private apartments and residences in Paris, Biarritz and Italy, her fantastic personal style flowed toevery nook and cranny of these fabulous spaces. Chanel’s brand of luxury – the luxury that is humble and personal – is so timeless, that decades after her passing, society continue to crave Chanel’s aesthetics.
Everyone deserves luxury that is beautiful, timeless and comfortable, “otherwise it is not luxury”.
Take a #stylecue out of her interior aesthetics and transform your room into a sanctuary that’s truly timeless and stylish.
L’Or, Blanc et Noir
Nothing says ‘Chanel’ than the combination of Black, White and Gold. These colours are simple and flexible, but exudes absolute elegance and sophistication effectively. When Coco was setting up her first store, she was so picky with the wallpaper style that the decorator told her to get a bucket of white paint. And that she did! The effect of white gives a vibe of openness and elegance, and showcased her stylish designs well.
Paint your wall a lovely shade of white and use gold and black as trims and accents to create the same elegant vibe as Chanel’s atelier.
For inspiration, here’s Coco Chanel’s Ritz Paris Suite:
Mirror, Mirror on the wall

Mirrors are glamorous additions to any room. It expands any room and gives you a sense of infinity (and a chance to fix your super-chic #ootd). Add a mirror to your room to give a polished, Chanel vibe.
