History of the Ritz suite
Chanel’s enduring relationship with the Ritz Paris began in the 1920s and became her permanent sanctuary in 1954. The Ritz Paris is around the corner from 31 rue Cambon, where her shop, dressmaking workshops, salons, and apartment were located. She referred to the Ritz as ma maison (my house), slowly incorporating her furniture and other objects.
About her relationship with the iconic hotel, the Ritz says:
"Coco Chanel and the Ritz shared the same idea of elegance: discreet, perfect, timeless luxury. Since the hotel met all her requirements for authenticity and comfort, 15 place Vendôme became her refuge, a haven of tranquillity after long days at work, the hotel staff like a second family. She also enjoyed socializing here, or dining at Espadon with close friends such as Misia Sert, Salvador Dali and Jean Cocteau." (Ritz Paris)
How to style like Coco
To emulate this iconic look in your home, start by embracing a timeless and sophisticated color palette. Chanel loved neutral tones such as beige, cream, and black, accented with hints of gold. Adding touches of gold through mirrors, antiques, and antique accessories will create a sense of grandeur to any room. Luxurious fabrics such as cotton and linen, as well as the bold pattern seen on the Telio Onyx fabric create a bedding collection fit for Coco herself. Creating a mood board allows you to visualize how everything will piece together and make adjustments before purchasing pieces.
