So you’ve fallen for Paris and now you’re dreaming of a home here, somewhere you can return to again and again.
But how do you begin — finding the right property, navigating the purchase, and transforming it into the home you’re imagining?
For many, the process can feel daunting. How do you turn the dream of a Paris home into a reality that feels effortless and entirely your own?
That’s where Blue Sparks comes in. Led by English-speaking interior designer Antonia Mahon, an Irish national who has called Paris home since 1999, Blue Sparks offers property search and full-service design for international clients — managing every stage of the journey from property search to the final styling.
“My clients are busy people who want to enjoy the process, not get lost in it,” says Antonia.
“I guide them through finding, buying, renovating, and furnishing their Paris home so that, when they arrive, everything is ready — right down to the chilled bottle of champagne.”
With a background of 20 years in the French corporate world, Antonia combines creativity with rigorous project management.
Since renovating her first Paris apartment in 2004 (a very, very steep learning curve in itself!), she’s built a trusted network of realtors, notaries, contractors, cabinetmakers, and artisans who share her exacting standards.
Clients describe her as proactive, imaginative, and deeply reliable — a designer who listens, solves problems, and turns complex projects into smooth, enjoyable experiences.
Whether you’re reimagining a historic apartment in Saint-Germain-des-Prés or transforming a Haussmannian gem near the Marais, Blue Sparks provides an A-to-Z experience:
- Property search and purchase support
- Space planning and design concepts
- Renovation management and contractor coordination
- Sourcing of furniture, fixtures, and finishes
- Final installation and styling
If you’ve already found your Paris home, Antonia also offers comprehensive interior design to bring your vision to life.
Each project is uniquely tailored — inspired by your lifestyle, your story, and your connection to Paris.
“Paris apartments have their quirks,” Antonia says, “I love reworking layouts to make them practical and beautiful. And because most of my clients aren’t here during the process, I manage every stage personally, keeping them updated so they can relax and look forward to moving in.”
Antonia has earned a reputation for transforming spaces (some challenging) into timeless, livable homes filled with character. Her designs balance modern comfort with Parisian charm.
And the results speak for themselves: “Antonia has a magic wand,” says Marlene, a recent client who entrusted her 16th arrondissement apartment to Blue Sparks.
“She really listens and makes sure she understands the wishes and personality of her client. She is very creative, not only for the design of the apartment, but also in finding solutions to any problems that arise.”
If you’re ready to start, or have already started your Paris home journey, Blue Sparks can help you whichever phase you’re at— from the first viewing to the final reveal.
