Reimagining a Parisian apartment | Corston Architectural Detail Corston Architectural Detail 2025-09-24 | We were delighted to see how Charlélie Colas of The Last Floor had used our architectural details in his reimagining of this small but chic Paris apartment. He restructured much of the interior to incorporate more light and create new spaces. But even the grandest project can be affected by the finishing touches, and Charlélie knew what he wanted. “When I saw the quality of the switches and their brass finish, Corston ticked all the boxes,” he tells us. Whether you go as far as redesigning the layout of your home or not, Charlélie’s advice is not to limit your ambition when you begin a new project. “Believe in yourself,” he says. “Really going for it, not giving up, not being afraid to fail, that’s the essence of renovation.” See the full project hubs.ly/Q03KL3H20www.corston.com
