For five days, Paris becomes the epicenter of design festivities, welcoming over creatives, industry professionals, and design devotees from around the globe.
This year, around 150 brands will unveil their latest collections. Think sumptuous fabrics, swoon-worthy wallpapers, and intricate trimmings that will simply make you gasp. Expect nothing less than jaw-dropping presentations and soirées that are as chic as they are exuberant. Like in years paris, Paris Déco Off 2025 is shaping up to be a can’t-miss extravaganza.

Christmas with Catherine Olasky
Today’s dose of Christmas inspiration comes courtesy of the talented Houston-based interior designer Catherine Olasky. Renowned for her impeccably curated interiors with a touch of English charm, Catherine began her career in New York City, spending five formative years with the legendary Bunny Williams.
In 2006, her passion for European antiques and historic houses led her to London, where she honed her craft at the esteemed Sibyl Colefax & John Fowler for four years. With a design sensibility that is both worldly and deeply thoughtful, Catherine’s interiors exude richness and sophistication—and her holiday décor is no exception.
