Luke Edward Hall stirs print and colour inside Hotel Les Deux Gares in Paris
A clashing mix of pea-green walls, leopard-print furnishings and candy-striped beds feature in this hotel that British designer Luke Edward Hall has completed in Paris.
Hotel Les Deux Gares is tucked down a narrow street in Paris' 10th arrondissement, set between two of the city's major train stations ? Gare du Nord and Gare de l'Est.

The five-storey building had been left vacant for a number of years, but when Luke Edward Hall was brought on board to design the interiors, the focus wasn't on making the rooms seem more contemporary.
Hall instead set out to fashion an "anti-modern" aesthetic that nodded to a Paris of the past.
Chintzy wallpaper and leopard-print furniture decorate the lobby "I love listening to stories from the past and feeling as though I'm entering another, more elegant era," explained Hall, who is based in London.
"I always begin my projects by leafing through old books and magazines; then, I visit galleries and museums. I allow myself the time to dream and invent stories."
Breakfast and coffee is also offered to guests in the lobby
The hotel is entered via a vivid lobby, where Hall has created a riotous collision of pattern and colour. The lower half of the walls have been painted pea-green, while the upper half has been covered in chintzy, pale blue wallpaper with a maroon-coloured motif.
Black-and-white chevron flooring runs throughout.
