How to give your apartment a Haussmannian style?

Chic, elegant and inseparable from our capital, the Haussmann style never ceases to seduce.

Beautiful high ceilings, herringbone parquet flooring, marble fireplace, adjoining rooms... The Haussmann style has its own codes and is mainly defined by its moldings, present in all the rooms.

Placed on the ceiling, on doors, along basement walls, or around the fireplace, they are everywhere.

So, how can you reproduce or restore a Haussmannian style in your interior without carrying out major work?

Cornices, picture rails, rosettes, door frames, baseboards, 3D panels... Orac Decor has established itself as a manufacturer of revolutionary decorative elements, offering collections that are both classic and contemporary.

Orac has developed innovative materials that are robust, water-washable, and durable. Practical and lightweight, the moldings are ready to paint and easily installed with a simple strip of adhesive.

If you are a DIY enthusiast, you can install them yourself, provided you follow the installation steps and have the right equipment.

Although white is the typical color of Haussmann-style apartments, it can be paired with a dark color: midnight blue, dove gray, or sage green for a contemporary and stylish touch. More subdued tones, such as pale pink or beige, are an interesting alternative because they bring a softness to the room.

After taking measurements, getting a quote, and finding the right materials, you'll have textured walls in the entryway, a ceiling rose in the living room, or light cornices in the bedroom to instantly change the mood.

If you are unsure between different models, please do not hesitate to visit the store; most of the models are on display there.

We will be happy to advise you and you can take away samples to test them at home.
