Located seconds away from the Louvre and with magnificent views over Jardins des Tuileries, this one-bedroom apartment feels fresh and light – its many windows and skylights making it one of the brightest in the collection. An open-plan layout with a sleek minimalist kitchen is paired with contemporary pieces and a gripping centrepiece painting to produce an innovative space with a transgressive edge. An art-loving couple looking for space and style will feel right at home and will make the most of its location next to Paris' most iconic museum.

Home truths:
* This home is on a 6th floor and although there is a lift that reaches the 5th floor the last few flights are unavoidable

* The mezzanine level lacks a safety railing so this home is't suitable for young children

* Guests three and four will be sleeping on a double sofa bed in the living room
