Interior Styling that makes a French airbnb feel like home
Continuing our airbnb reviews, here in Metz is a Chez Tess, a stunning aparment full of the conveniences of home, located right near the station. The interiors are curated to perfection and styled with both form and funtion in mind.
Our host lives locally and keeps the apartment in pristine condition, a fully equipped kitchen & laundry makes preparation a breeze. The integrated fridge provides plenty of storage for those dine in days!
The large sunlit dining room provides a great space to dine, work or play. Upon request our host can also provide a frozen meal to warm up on arrival – a very caring additional option that you can add to your stay !
The contrasting palette of rusted ochre and sage green continues with the use of a plethora of live plants, providing a beautiful biophilic atmosphere to the entire apartment. The use of this earthy sage green hue is subtle throughout the interior as seen in the alcove library wall, ottoman, cushions and even the hand glazed dinner plates.
It is all about attention to detail !
Many functional and vintage design elements are curated throughout the apartment, connected by the use of black architectural hardware and lineal composition.
The rust walls of the terrace focus your attention to the terracotta French clay roof tiles in the courtyard and surrounds. Connecting the private to the public space.
The intimate terrace allows you to enjoy an outdoor space which has been particularly lovely in fine weather. The apartment is located a five-minute walk to the train station, with all the city’s sights within walking distance. Today we finish the trip with a visit to the Centre Pompidou Metz – just around the corner!
Plants connect us to nature and breathe life into quiet corners !
The tiled central foyer is a fabulous hard-wearing hub that handles the busy routine of the traveller and is also great for cleaning.
The architectural fittings are in a classic black matt finish.
The barn door, kitchen stools, dining chairs and black board connect the elements of the apartment together. There is a Tres Chic classic and contemporary vibe to the space, as you explore the attention to detail.
Sustainable styling devices such as wall paper and a wicker upcycled screen for a bed head makes for a very simple and easy solution that creates depth and interest in the space. Texture plays an important role in celebrating the natural tones within the apartments colour scheme.
The use of wainscotting in the lounge room paired with an ochre alcove book shelves – makes the lounge room appear larger and creates a sense of refined elegance.
Pattern is celebrated throughout the interior – in complementary palettes and shapes – the floor, bathroom wallpapered walls and soft furnishings made by hand speak of a love of vintage and contemporary design. Our host is extremely responsive and provides plenty of local ideas services, restaurants and recommended places to visit. Her communication was outstanding and key to our local connection, as we immersed into French culture – more than anything we loved her sense of style and the joy found in every corner of this Tres Chic Airbnb!
