Scarlet Letters, by Veeve

Whether it's the punchy colour palette, traces of period architecture or characterful design quirks, this home loves to surprise. Boasting a superb location on the fringes of the exquisite Jardin du Luxembourg in the city's chic 6th arrondissement, you'll have your pick of leafy strolls, elegant boutiques and swanky eateries. This district is saturated in history, so if you're looking to soak up some quintessentially Parisian culture, nearby standouts include the ancient Abbey of Saint-Germain-des-Prés and the famed cafes of the enchanting Boulevard Saint-Germain — pilgrimage site of literary fans keen to walk in the footsteps of Hemingway, Camus and many more...

LIVING ROOM
Your classically designed living room gets a spectacular revamp with a radiantly red feature wall and a sprinkling of compelling artwork. High ceilings, tall windows and charming cornicing create an elegant, light-filled space in which to unwind, giving you easy comfort with a hint of unmistakably Parisian grandeur. There's a lovely spot by the window if you need a little desk time, and plenty of space to kick back in front of the TV.

KITCHEN
There's a touch of Downton Abbey in this vintage-style kitchen, with its alcove stove and spacious counters. There's heaps of room for cooking and an extra table, perfect for grabbing a quick bite. We appreciate the echoes of scarlet in here too.

DINING ROOM
Soft tones and a suave wood table to compliment the parquet; this room offers a delightful space to gather together for a meal. We love how large windows let the light flood in.

PRINCIPAL BEDROOM
Offering yet more splendid views of the Haussmann buildings that line the street below, this soothingly serene bedroom combines a light lacing of antique furniture with a collection of beautiful art and everyone's favourite throwback feature — the outline of a magnificent marble fireplace. There's a Queen-sized double bed and a handy little desk space too.

PRINCIPAL ENSUITE
Threaded with teal and featuring a walk-in shower, single wash basin and WC.

SECOND BEDROOM
Delicate green tones and a cute library alcove weave a sense of calm over this homely second bedroom. There's a double bed and a good-sized desk, ideal as a dressing table or for a spot of work.

SECOND ENSUITE
Bordered by jazzy blue tiles, this ensuite includes a bath tub and hand-held shower, a single wash basin and a WC.

THIRD BEDROOM
Brightened by a swathe of burnt orange that contrasts strikingly with those pared-down, neutral interiors, the third bedroom comes with a smattering of smart mahogany furniture (including another desk, making this a handy study space), and a single bed.
