Paris-based designer Marie Deroudilhe has created this tiny flower-filled sanctuary called “Lily of the Valley”. The French café and tea-room may be tiny, but what it lacks in size, it more than makes up for with vibrancy and distinct personality. Flowers and plants hang from the entire ceiling, creating an overhead garden that sets a super lush and unforgettable tone.

Mirrors are used cleverly to reflect the overhead flowers and greenery – the reflections capture the light and create an illusion of greater space beyond. Nanna-style florals line the bathroom walls, the curtain and the banquette seat. These are balanced with painted brick walls and original tiled floor, providing a little bit of balance to this unapologetically feminine interior. In fact, the whole thing is just bursting with happiness and life – I bet you it would be impossible to not feel joyous while sipping on tea and snacking on home-made gluten free pastries in this little jewel. Extreme love!
