Design Travel With Margot Guralnick
Every room at the Hotel Henriette, newly overhauled by Paris designer Vanessa Scoffier, is a lesson in the transformative powers of paint and a few well-chosen (but affordable) furnishings. It's at the top of our Where to Check In Next list—with thanks to our travel writer friend Emily Mathieson for the tip-off. And in the meantime, we're taking inspiration for our own homes.
Photography from Hotel Henriette, except where noted.
Above: The 30-year-old Left Bank hotel, yards from Les Gobelins metro (and formerly known as the Hotel Résidence les Gobelins), was given a makeover by Vanessa Scoffier of Les Nouveaux Decorateurs. Working on a tight budget and with a directive to make the place feel "both accessible and exclusive," she came up with a look that's "vintage, bohème, and très DIY."
Shown here, the winter garden off the lobby (which is still being completed). "From a young age, I've scoured flea markets," says Scoffier, who mixed "every style and époque to make modern with the old."
Above: The breakfast room's custom wool bench cushions establish the palette Scoffier, a former fashion editor, used inventively throughout—and without ever repeating herself.
Above: There are 32 guest rooms, no two the same, but all surprisingly affordable: They start at €69 ($73.75) for a single and go up to €149 ($159.19) for connecting rooms for two to four people.
Like the striped quilts? Hedge House sells similar Bedrolls.
Above: The remodel took 14 months to complete, and in lieu of introducing expensive millwork Scoffier used plywood and paint. We love plywood, too; see Remodeling 101 and The Unexpected Appeal of Plywood.
This room is a Deluxe Double, 23 square meters (approximately 248 square feet). The bedding was sourced from Bodie and Fou (see more ideas below). Photograph by Hervé Goluza for Glamour France.
Above L: Scoffier created Hotel Henriette's paint colors herself. Above R: Every room has a work area. For similar designs, see 10 Easy Pieces: Desks for Small Spaces.
Above: Soulful old rattan and brass metalwork are recurring themes. One of Scoffier's best sources: Les Puces du Design, a flea market devoted to 20th-century design.
Above: A two-toned double with a mural of mirrors. Find similar Rattan Mirrors from Two's Company.
Above: Another inventive—and easy to replicate—paint job in an 11-square-meter (118-square-foot) Happy Single, the smallest room in the hotel. (See more multicolored paint jobs in Go Big or Go Home: 10 Geometric Painted Walls.)
Above: A vintage leather gym mat is hung as a headboard. (Take a look at variations on the theme in 10 Favorites: Vintage Gym Equipment as Decor.) The rope light is the Flax Light by Dutch designer Christien Meindertsma from Thomas Eyck.
Above L and R: A tiled bathroom in a double room. Note the use of humble bouquets (and occasional floral patterns) to add color and life.
Above: Palest pink stands up to soft turquoise in a 15-square-meter (161.5-square-foot) Chambre Twin. Photograph via Avenue Lifestyle.
Above: A headboard made from painted salvaged doors. (Discover more ways to put doors to work in 5 Quick Fixes: Doors as Decor and A Door-Filled Bistro in Bucharest.)
Above: Scoffier detailed a room in hot pink paint; no-commitment washi tape also works (see The Power of Pink and Washi Tape as Decor).
Above: A low-key tropical look in a junior suite. Find out where to source leafy wallpaper in 13 Favorites: Rooms with Flora and Fauna Wallpaper.
Above: Tea in bed. For more bedding sources, see Mix-and-Match Linens from France and 5 Favorites: Pale Pink Linen Sheets—or head straight to Merci.

Hotel Henriette is located on a cobblestone street in the 13th Arr., close to the Mouffetard district.

Home Inspiration With Margot Guralnick
Suddenly surfacing all over: camp-style enameled flatware in graceful, ghostly white. The latest addition to the raging enamelware revival, the cutlery is as versatile as a T-shirt, and equally at home on a picnic and at the dinner table.
Above: The Quartet Flatware Set from Terrain, $68 for a four-piece place setting, comes in three finishes: enamel (shown here), copper, and stainless steel.
Above: Ideal for eating cereal and doling out jam—no campfire required. Variopinte's bowl and spoons are part of Italian designer Stefania di Petrillo's large enamelware collection. Spoons are €14.95 ($15.95) and Bowls in Green Almond start at €12 ($12.81) from Variopinte. Photograph via DESIGNality.
Above: Variopinte Enameled Cutlery is sold by the piece: Forks and Spoons, €14.95 ($15.95). Knives, €24 ($25.63), Dessert Spoons, €12.50 ($13.35), Salad Server Fork and Spoon, €22 ($23.50) each. Inquire about salt spoons. Photograph via Design Crush.

Above: From Kaico of Japan, makers of one of our favorite tea kettles, enamel cutlery that's been creating a global splash. It's available at a number of retailers, including Poketo, which sells a Four-Piece Flatware Set for $78. Cachette in France offers the pieces individually and in sets, as does The Mint List in the UK. Photograph via the Mint List.

Nest sells a range of the pieces individually: White Enamel Forks and Dessert Spoons are $10; Knives are $15; Enamel Salad Spoons are $14.50 each—and there's more.

Kitchens With Margot Guralnick
The recipe for how to double a kitchen: Add a wall of folding glass doors, and then blend a terrace and garden into the mix. The owners of a semidetached Victorian in Dulwich, in south London, tried it out; take a look at their results.
Photography via JJ Locations.
Above: When the glass doors are folded back, the garden becomes an instant extension of the kitchen. Concrete flooring blurs the lines between indoors and out. (See Remodeling 101: Polished Concrete Floors.) And if you're experiencing cutting board envy, go to 10 Easy Pieces: Display-Worthy Cutting Boards and Cutting Boards to Covet.
Above: The tiered garden itself is cleverly divided into two rooms: The lower level serves as a place for barbecuing and lounging and the upper level is a low-maintenance green garden, all of it enclosed by slatted wood fencing. (See Gardenista's Hardscaping 101: Design Guide for Fences for ideas about styles, height, and costs.)
Above: The hub of the kitchen is its minimalist marble island with waterfall edges. (Dreaming of your own marble island? Learn the pros and cons in Remodeling 101: Marble Countertops and take a look at Designer Krista Nye Schwartz's Marble Island and 11 Kitchen Islands Gone Glamorous.) For a similar faucet, consider the Kohler K-6131-3-2BZ Oil-Rubbed Bronze Parq Deck-Mount Faucet.
Above: The kitchen has plenty of storage seamlessly incorporated above and below the sink and along the back wall. Like the hardware-free look? See Remodeling 101: Invisible Touch-Latch Hardware and Reveal Openings.
To make a similar clock, go to DIY: A Color-Blocked Wall Clock for $25. Barn Light Electric offers the Wesco Deep Bowl Chain Hung Pendant in a range of sizes.
Above: The eating area is elegantly set off by a paneled black wall. To link the dark and light halves of the room, the turned wood table is painted tuxedo style. The two wood chairs are classic Ercols, paired with an Eames Molded Plastic Side Chair with Dowel Legs.
Above: Counter seating and an sofa, all in black and white, further blur the lines between indoors and out. For similar stools, consider the Sawkille Co. Oxidized Maple Drink Stool from March in San Francisco. See 10 Easy Pieces: Black Wharf Lights for similar outdoor sconces.
