- Name: Marion Jacques
Location: Paris, France
Size: 280 SQ FT/ 26 SQ METERS
Type of Home: 1 Bedroom Apartment
Years Lived In: 2 years
Marion's one bedroom apartment in Paris France is a beautiful example of living big in a small space. By finding lots of ways to hide and store her items, Marion allows each of her carefully curated thrifted objects to shine. Marion says, "I love being surrounded by pieces that make me feel connected to my friends and family, while being great conversation starters!" "For example," she continues, "the brass heron I got from my maternal grandmother, a vintage Kodak Brownie camera, my grandfather's pocket watch, romance novels from the '60s, the disco ball from my 26th birthday party... mementos of happy moments that remind me to be grateful!"

This woman is a genius. This is a tiny house, apartment version. And the design choices she made are just fantastic. The place has every convenience imaginable and it is COMFORTABLE and PRACTICAL. Just brilliant.
Thank you so much for your kind words, it made my day 🌞
@@Marion.J Beautiful place and very well organized. I loved your family books.
You are so talented. Your apartment is so beautiful, classy and romantic.
I think this is the best one I have seen in a very long time. I recently moved into a very tiny Flat as it's called in VA but, very expensive rent with no utilities included and no laundry in the building. My area is outrageous for rent. I am saving for my own small home by hopefully with a little yard enough room for a small vegetable garden and I'm praying for a small porch. But, seeing this woman's ideas have spurred me on. I have only 3 cabinets in the kitchen, no heat in kitchen or bathroom so have to use space heaters small closets no bathroom vanity. Many ideas I have from this apt. Happy New Year!
Fantastic & ingenious use of every space, love it! There is a solution for every challenge! Love that you thought outside the conventional box of what can be used in your excellent example of your bathroom! So cozy & personal, very warm & lovely.
What a FANTASTIC job she did in utilizing every square inch! So well put together!! It looks so cozy and comfortable 💕💕💕💕💕
Thank you Trudy, I really appreciate it! 🌞
This is one of THE BEST small apartments I’ve ever seen! She’s figured out a solution for every need. Simply the best👍🏽
That's really nice of you, thank you Carla 🥰
@@Marion.J 🥰
What a gorgeous place!
I don't really compliment too many apartment tours. But this my God is too adorable and definitely my taste. Love the hidden compartments and definitely will be utilizing some of those ideas into my apartment
Thank you, I'm glad you liked it 😊
Completely agree, this flat is really something special
I could see myself living there and being happy
God has nothing to do with it.

I like how she doubted ever feeling like she’s be able to call her place home and how she was stuck on making the greatest use of the space. Then she seemingly relaxed a bit one morning over coffee and ideas started to flow. It’s a comforting reminder that we should take our time and show ourselves grace when trying to put our lives together. Eventually, everything will fall into place. Thank you for the lovely tour and an important life reminder!
Very good point!
I love what you said about "everything will fall into place"✨ Such a sweet and important reminder
Very well said!
Lovely thoughts about it. 🥹❤
I like what she did with her entryway. It sets it off nicely from the rest of her flat and is a cool welcome feature for her guests.
I love how she spoke about all the mistakes she made when designing her apartment. It’s important to know that there’s a lot of trial and error before you create a space just right for you! Amazing, apartment!
Beautiful home! Very cozy, stylish and inviting. Thank you for sharing
You have done great for yourself. I’m trying to get onto the housing ladder at 40. I wish at 55 I will be testifying to similar success!
Thanks for the advice. I found her page already. and left her a msg. It won't be a bad Idea to be investing while working. So someone can get the house the dream for!!
Awesome for such a small space. It looks much bigger than it is. Lovely.
I must say that this is the most beautiful 280 sq.ft. apartment that I have ever seen. I loved her organization of books and shelving. She decorated it well and should be a professional decorator! Beautifully and done well. 💯
Her efficient use of space in the bathroom while still having it look bright and lovely is impressive.
Thank you 😊
She's lovely and so is her space ! :)
Thank you so much Meg 🌟
Brava, Marion! You have one of the smallest apartments that I've seen and the most adorable and clever uses of space. I love it!
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it 😊
I live in a 270sf apartment. This looks a lot bigger. I wish I knew the specific measurements for each room. Amazing apartment.
You have created a miracle with such a small space.Its absolutely stunning.Should be in a design magazine..bravo..💙🦋
Thank you so much Deborah, I really appreciate it 🥰
What a beautiful apartment and it looks much bigger than I thought. You have arranged everything amazingly well with lots of storage. Thanks so much for sharing.
Thank you for the nice comment Claudia 🌞
This is one of the best apartment videos I've seen. Marion, if you are not working in interior design, you should be. Your place is absolutely beautiful. Love it!
Thank you so much Barbara, this made my day 🌞 I don't but I'm thinking about it!
@@Marion.J Think harder, Marion! You will be amazing.
Honestly this is one of my favorite episodes. Her apt is absolutely beautiful. The way she finds storage in all these small places is amazing. What a lovely home❤
Thank you so much, it's really nice of you to say 🥰
Marion, I love, love, LOVE your little home. It is so chic and thoughtfully laid out. One of my all time favourite apartment tours. I also think you could be one of my favourite people too! 😊
Thank you so much Helen for your kind words, your comment made my day 🌟
This must be the most beautifully curated tiny spaces Ive seen in a long while. It is so inspiring to know that one doesnt have to resort to extreme minimalism to feel comfortable in a small apartment. Thank you for sharing your home with us.
She did a beautiful job. It’s so cozy and quaint. I also LOVE that movie board idea. I have been wanting to get rid of my tv for a while but don’t like projectors. I never thought of just using a white board. Genius!
Thank you Remy, that's really nice of you! I'm glad you liked it 😊
Love the space, especially the entryway...lol, and totally envious of her creative talent. I could live there for decades and never think to do any of that. Glad it feels like home for her, it's always a peaceful thing when that hits.
Thank you, that's really nice of you to say 🌞
One of the best decorated apartments to ever appear in apartment therapy! Love the wallpaper in the entryway.
Thank you Debra, that's really nice of you to say 🌞
This amazing woman’s sense of style and resourcefulness are off the charts! So well thought out and realized.
Thank you so much Sue, your comment made my day! ⭐
This feels so much bigger! It is absolutely well thought out and not cluttered at all. The colors are perfect for the space.
Thank you, I really appreciate it 😊
What a lovely space, you did a wonderful job!
Thank you so much! 🤗
I love, LOVE your home. You have what you need but since things are put away it's a very peaceful, calm home. Great idea to paint the entry darker and you don't even notice the open storage right above the area.
Thank you so much Donna, that's really kind of you to say 🌞
Omg, I'm so impressed by this apartment. After divorce, I moved from a house into a 9qm room in a chared flat, so I know how hard it is, to reduce your stuff and to make it fit into the new, smaller place. Well done, Marion! You're flat looks incredible and sooooo cozy.
I love this so much. I watched it twice as there are so many clever ideas of maximising such a small space. Her colour palette is beautiful. The genius way of creating a moody entrance with paint, to the light filled living space. Brilliant and thoughtful design.
Thank you so much Maria, that made my day 😊
If there is an option to click “love” , I will definitely do it for this video. The house is so warm and inviting, she did a more than fantastic job and it doesn’t feel like it’s only 280
Thank you, that is so nice of you to say 😊
As someone who also downsized and moved to a smaller space, interior tetris skills are needed for practicality and making it feel like home. I love her clever ideas & hacks, she definitely nailed it
What quaint apartment, she did a terrific job! Great job Apartment Therapy 🎉🎉🎉
J'adore, c'est vraiment une très jolie décoration pour un appartement parisien ! Il est hyper fonctionnel, hyper cosy, très chaleureux et accueillant ! Well done, vraiment ! Bravo !
Merci beaucoup, c'est vraiment très gentil 🌞
The way that she has reconceptualized this space is one of the most amazing things I’ve seen in a really long time. Congratulations to her and anyone involved in creating this magical space! I’ve actually gotten so many ideas that I can reimagine for my own space. So I must extend my thanks as well for all of these amazing ideas.
Thank you so much Alison!! 🌞
I could never imagine what 280 sq ft looks like! Everything you need for one person is there. The moody entryway and floor tile hack are my favorite. It shows we could all live with so much less and be perfectly comfortable and happy. Love all she has fit in this tiny space.
Everything about this home is so intentional and beautiful - she has half the space I do in my apartment and yet has made it work so comfortably!
C'est un très joli appartement, bravo Marion
Merci beaucoup Isabelle 😊
I'm so glad she got her homely feeling moment. It's so important to feel content in your space.
So true! When the rest of the world is on fire, home should be a comforting haven to escape the crazy.
@@kathrynnielson5689 💯
The projector on the film board is GENIUS! This is by far one of the best apartment tours on this channel
She’s brilliant for using a small space to her advantage
As someone who is a minimalist EXCEPT when it comes to art and books, I LOVED your apartment.
It’s hard to believe this is only 280 sq ft!! 💝 It’s cozy and airy and beautiful!
Thank you Polly! 😊
Wow what an amazing eye for detail. You should go into business doing this for other small apartment dwellers! Absolutely lovely!!
Thank you Sarah, your comment made me very happy 🌞
Yes, absolutely.
Marion is so talented! She not only made this small space work, she did it with such style!!! I’m inspired to make some changes to my space with some of her great ideas!
Marion-do you have information on the black and white wallpaper??? It’s stunning!
So well thought out to make storage and be very pretty.
Thank you 😊
This is one of the best ones i have seen in a very long time. Her place looks larger than my apt yet her's is smaller. I have been so very down since i have moved here stemming frim my Mom passing away and having to pack up her house and move out. I got rid of most of my belongings because my Mom left me her living room set and her bedroom ser which are large pieces. My kitchen is tiny with only 3 cabinets. My bathroom is tiny without a vanity under tge sink so I have made my own. My bedroom is tiny. Vert tiny (2) closets and lots under my bed. I still look like a storage unit in my living room and brdroom and i sleep on the couch. I work 10 hour days at my job and i have a bad leg and come home tired. No laundry room in my building. This woman's storage ideas on a budget has given me wonderful ideas. I feel encouraged. I hope she still goes to this site to read new comments. I wish i knew what some of these people do for a career. This woman should be an interior decorator. She is AWESOME and beautiful.
Happy New Year,
Rebekah
I am in love with this apartment. Luxurious, comfortable . Good job!
Beauriful space and creative storage. Love her projector idea!
Thank you Sheila, glad you liked it😊
Saving this one! So many creative and cosy ideas. I was thinking that a 520 square foot build was going to be tight. But now really see nothing but potential! LOOK what she gets out of just over half that much. Taking a page from her book.
Now this is one of the best interiors I"ve ever seen, and so smart and inspiring! Congrats to the owner for doing something that looks much better than the interior of many bigger apartements that I've seen. And her fear of wether or not she was going to feel at home is something many people have with apartements and houses of all sizes, but she has clearly done a fantastic job with her place.
This is quite lovely - and a peaceful oasis in a big city. I love that exquisite wallpaper in the entryway.
Thank you 😊
I'm so impressed by the amount of storage that's jammed into this tiny space. And it's still so beautiful and calming!
Thank you so much, that was the ultimate goal so I'm really happy it feels that way 😊
A very very talented lady!!!
Thank you Paola!!
@@Marion.J You're very welcome. And when I eventually downsize I'll be checking out your video that I've saved. All the best to you!
Excellent use of space. Only 280 square feet but still feels very cozy and luxurious. Love the beautiful drapes
So practical, so cozy, so stylish. She made a lovely home despite the tiny footprint!
Thank you 🌞
The idea for the floors was genius. I would have never thought of that. Excellent use of her small space.
Thank you Nicole 😊
This is a lovely space she has created for herself, without it feeling cramped and uninviting. 🥰🥰🥰🥰
This is a stunning apartment. What a beautiful home this lady made. May this space continue to bring you peace and contentment 💖
Thank you Lisa 🥰
Wow, what an impressive use of space! The tile paint trick is so cool too. It's beautiful ❤👏
Thank you Kate, I really appreciate it 🌸🌞
Wow, she did an amazing job by using every inch of space and making her apartment feeling beautiful, cozy and not cluttered👍But are you sure, that these are only 280sft? I once lived in 40 sft and it looks very similar. But anyways, I'm happy for her that she now feels at home😊
Everything is put in it's place so nicely, well organized for such a small space, lovely.
Omygosh she’s a organizer genius! This apt is so neat, cozy and luxe all at the same time. I dig this style so much!
She did a wonderful job of organizing while decorating at the same time. It's a cute apartment. Nicely done!
Thank you Linda 😊
Sooo beautifully elegant!❤❤❤❤
It's sad that people have to live in such cramped conditions but it must be lovely to have a permanent home in Paris.
It is a lovely apartment. Everthing has its place and there is privacy for your bedroom. I love your creativity and the character everything has. ❤
You feel her good vibes and it’s translated in her space and her choices. She did a really good job.
Thank you so much Mario 😊
@@Marion.J je vous en prie ☺️
I connected with many of the ways she incorporated her personal and family history through what she displayed. And I will borrow some of her ideas for storing and organizing everyday things so they seem intentional instead of cluttered, like her bathroom product bottles.
What a beautiful little apartment. She has done a brilliant job of finding a place for everything and making it pretty.
Thank you so much! 🌟
Very clever, lovely looking apartment, you made great choices and I admire your solution for the TV. I however in my tiny home I’ve got an even smaller and I use my iPad as my TV!
Thank you so much Kathleen! I must admit, I do often just use my computer when I don't want to set up everything 😉
one of the best apartment therapy videos ever. Smart, budget choices and everything curated to perfection
Thank you so much for your kind words, I really appreciate it 🌞
Agreed! 🌹
😮so many useful tips for small spaces. We just moved into a 145sq foot room so I'm still learning how to make things fit. I've decluttered a lot.
I love it! I didn't know you could make a truly tiny apartment this stylish and comfortable. I am looking at lots of small apartment tours for inspiration, but this is one of the best, as in, actually cute and livable, I've ever seen. Thank you for sharing, Marion ❤
Thank you so much for taking the time to comment such kind words Gerlinde, I really appreciate it 🌞
Thank you! I am a retired American educator. We helped a new school open in Lviv, then spent 6 weeks in Ktakow; we're in Tallinn for a month before heading back to Oregon. My wife and I hope to visit France after the Olympics. We plan to sell our Portland condo, invest in CDs, and then move to France. We will rent so we can travel in Europe. There are several significant advantages to living in France: climate, healthcare, culture, and infrastructure. Thanks again! Dean and Cindy.
This apartment is so beautiful and inspiration worthy! Getting lots of ideas from her space!
I'm glad you liked it, thank you Dezzy 🌞
It is amazing that the suitcase with the seasonal clothing fists so well under the sofa that it seems unnoticeable. The whole apartment is beautiful and intentional. I am inspired to better use all of my storage space and make it look as lovely as hers.
I think this woman can hold a session how to utilise even tiniest of places one can't even imagine! Such as incredible job🙌
This has to be one of the nicest small apartment I have seen on this channel. Congratulations what you have done is simply amazing!
What a fantastic tour! I could not believe this space is 280 square feet. Everything is so well thought and cared and chic yet cosy. Bravo Marion. And you seem such a gentle and nice person too... your place reflects that. ❤
That is so sweet of you to say, thank you so much I'm glad you liked it 🥰
What a wonderfully livable small space. It even affords a nice division of spaces. I'd love to see what it's like with those living room windows open. It would make the space near the the windows seem almost like a balcony, I think.
Just beautiful! She came up with so many great ideas to make that apt. her home. I like her placement of things even her hidden things. The apt. is bright, airy and clean looking.
Oh Marion (and Apartment Therapy) this is one of your best examples and videos that I've seen! Marion is charming and so is her apartment. She has made snug look exquisite and comfortable.
Thank you so much, that's really sweet of you to say 🥰
ok now THIS is a tiny apartment and she has done an amazing job making the space work and make it look beautiful 💛 the hidden overhead storage by the entryway is pretty cool
It frustrates me when looking for videos like this for ideas for my own small apartment but the videos show a decent-sized apartment.
What an amazing job she did. This lady is very stylish. Perfect example of making the most of your small space. Well done!
What a gorgeous apartment! You did an amazing job decorating and making it your own. It seems to fit you like a glove. I LOVE your style!
Thank you so much for your kind words Marie! 🌼⭐
What a wonderful little apartment. As a seventy year old woman who has never lived on their own this is exactly how I would have liked a single flat to be. Mind you you are far tidier than I have ever been. So many clever ideas. Well done.
I like the fact it’s a mix of modern that I so love giving it an updated look & feel with a touch of classic that makes it comfy, not to keen on the pigeon coup area tho that would not sit to well with me but still one of the best apartment tours I’ve seen on here👍🏽
What a beautiful and well thought out space. The foam board is genius. This apartment makes you realize how much space we actually need.
Always said I couldn't live in a tiny apartment but this? This I could live in. Magnifique appartement Marion, bravo pour tes idées et ta débrouillardise!
What a charming little apartment! Great idea to put stars on the books you’ve read & clever how you painted the black on the floor! Cool to have the antique books straight from your family. 🌸💗🌸
Absolutely gorgeous apartment!
This is such an inspiring space; beautiful, intentional, and cozy. Thank you for sharing your lovely home with us ❤!
She's amazing. This was well thought-out. She did a great job on utilizing the space, especially storage for a place that doesn't have closets. I'm impressed with the bathroom.
Thank you Precious, I really appreciate it 🌞
I love it! She did a great job with such a small space.
You re so well organized. Everything looks neat. Love the hall and also how you have set up the bathroom. Beautiful atmosphere. I d feel ver much at home there😊
Thank you Jamila, it's very nice of you! 🌞
This is really beautiful and stylish. Well done. It looks like a lovely place to just sit and read or do quiet work -- also lovely to have friends over.
Her place looks amazing and she did an incredible job organizing everything. Definitely taking notes. My living room is as narrow as her's and I love how she set it up
This was hands down the best small apartment tour I've seen. You didn't just make space for everything. You did it in a way that's so stylish and looks so effortless. I could definitely live in this. If you really enjoyed styling your apartment maybe you should consider small apartment decorating and arranging as a business. You're really that good.
She is an extremely talented designer, if it is not her profession, it should be! Bravo!❤🇲🇫🌹
This lady is so creative and talented.I adore how she has maximised storage and the amount of attention to detail is mindblowing
What a great space! You did a spectacular job with your design and storage ideas also. Very well thought out. Congrats on your beautiful home.❤
