I'm rather enchanted by Micheline Paquette's bright, exotic loft. A romantic blend of Indian, Moroccan, Japanese, Chinese and Tibetan design all combining to create this eclectic and very sexy space. Stepping into this Montreal loft is like taking an exotic, magical trip.


Micheline thrives on the unexpected, I love her philosophy for decorating, "I don't decorate.
It just grows. I hate designers' rules about what's supposed to go together."


The white Barcelona chair is one such purchase - rather unexpected with her Eastern style, yet it blends in beautifully. I love that Micheline's space is full of small vignettes, often appearing in unexpected spaces - such as the Chinese parasols above the contemporary kitchen cupboards.







"My place isn't done by a decorator to please my guests. It pleases me", says Micheline. A style savvy designer for Louben, she constantly surrounds herself with some of the fashion influences she love the most - jewel toned Indian skirts and saris and intricate Eastern jewelry.
