DESIGN RADAR OF THE MONTH
 
C'est ici Favorites for October

This month, we've chosen two of our recent projects to showcase what's been inspiring our design vision recently.
MARRAKESH
 
Despite the Moroccan inspired name, this project has been influenced by the serene coastal landscapes, our design encapsulates a seamless blend of modern elegance and natural tranquility. 
Emphasizing open, airy spaces with large windows that invite ample natural light, it creates a harmonious indoor-outdoor flow. The palette, rooted in neutral tones and enhanced by organic materials like reclaimed wood, textiles, and stone, fosters warmth and sophistication, adding depth and interest. Every element is carefully chosen to create a cohesive aesthetic, integrating high-end design with practical elegance, offering an inviting, enduring environment perfect for both relaxation and sophisticated entertaining.

Clean lines define the interior, creating a sense of serenity and refinement, while expansive windows blur the boundaries between indoors and outdoors, inviting abundant natural light to fill the space and fostering a seamless connection with the surrounding environment. C’est ici applies simplicity and clean lines to accentuate the intrinsic beauty of its materials, seamlessly integrating light, texture, and nature to invite residents into a serene ambiance.

C'EST ICI'S DESIGN MOODBOARD
Setting the tone for Autumn

At C'est ici we are very much looking forward to the new season and we are embracing the spirit of autumn with a palette inspired by the season’s natural beauty. 
 
Warm olive greens, deep browns, and soft taupes come together to ground the space with an earthy sophistication. Enhanced by organic textures like wood and boucle, these hues craft a cozy yet refined atmosphere that brings the warmth of fall indoors.

An autumn palette of warm olive greens and deep browns brings a sense of serenity and depth to any space, inviting nature’s elegance indoors. Olive green captures the richness of leaves as they transition, holding onto hints of summer while settling into autumn’s quieter tones. Deep browns, reminiscent of tree bark and fallen leaves, provide a grounded warmth, lending both stability and sophistication to the room. Together, these colors evoke the essence of a woodland retreat, creating a backdrop that feels both timeless and inviting.
 
Layered with natural textures like wool, leather, and boucle, these earthy tones create a cozy sanctuary that captures autumn’s charm. The olive greens balance freshness and tranquility, while the browns add a reassuring depth, enveloping the space with a sense of grounded calm. In this setting, every element feels thoughtfully curated, reflecting the beauty and warmth of the season in a way that feels organic and enduring.
 
It’s all about creating a space that feels naturally inviting, capturing the ease and comfort of the season.
