A Love Affair with French Charm

When I first set foot in my West Village apartment, I instantly fell in love with its Parisian charm. The elegant architecture, the romantic atmosphere—it was everything I dreamed of.

As a Saturday Night Live star, I'm constantly surrounded by energy and excitement. But I find solace in the tranquility that my Paris-inspired apartment offers. It's a peaceful haven amidst the bustling city.

I wanted to create a space that felt authentically French, while still having a touch of my own personality. So, I embarked on a journey to infuse my home with elements of French elegance.

Embracing French Design

To bring the essence of France into my home, I focused on incorporating classic French design elements. One of the key features of French interiors is the use of ornate details, such as intricate moldings and delicate carvings.

In my living room, I have a stunning chandelier that serves as the centerpiece. It adds a touch of glamour and grandeur to the space. The furniture pieces I chose are also inspired by French antiques, with their graceful curves and luxurious upholstery.

Another essential aspect of French design is the color palette. I opted for soft, neutral tones that create a sense of tranquility and elegance. The walls are painted in a beautiful shade of cream, while the furniture and décor feature muted pastels.

Adding Personal Touches

While I wanted to capture the essence of French design, it was important for me to infuse the space with elements that reflect my own personality. I included artwork and photographs that hold sentimental value to me, as well as pieces that showcase my love for comedy.

One of my favorite areas in the apartment is my home office. It's a place where I can unleash my creativity and find inspiration for my comedy sketches. I decorated it with quirky accessories and framed posters of my favorite comedians.

By combining French elegance with personal touches, I've created a home that feels uniquely mine.
