Charlotte is fed up with Scandinavian decoration. Her cold, pale and bland tones are no longer made for her. Charlotte, what she likes are the warm interiors, flooded with color, the summer atmospheres. Since his trip to Tijuana, azure blues, fuchsia pinks and spicy yellows have marked his heart forever. But how to give this Mexican "warmth" without redoing the apartment from top to bottom?

Emma's most complex task is the living room. To do this, she decides to put three photos of Josué Lago in a large format (from $21 / £17,5 / €19) representing women with the make-up of the dead during the traditional Mexican celebration of the dead (Día de Los Muertos).

For the adjoining dining room, she opted for a work by the Mexican artist Mija Zachs with a round painting Esmeraldas ($876 /£745 / €812) which she placed above the sideboard.

On the opposite wall, she has chosen two geometrically patterned paintings by the artist Garlun represented by the gallery "Art et Emotion" (Lausanne - Switzerland); Labyrinthe de la Passion ($6,474 / £5,504 / €6,000) and Labyrinthe de la Solitude ($6,474 / £5,504 / €6,000).

For the entrance, she added a touch of originality by superimposing three mural sculptures by the young artist Yared Castro (from $540 / £459 / €500) which recall with a contemporary touch the traditional Mexican sculpture.

For her room, she opted for a large photo by the French artist Mathilde Oscar representing a woman looking like Frida Khalo.

and for Stella's room, her 4-year-old daughter, she chose two naive paintings representing a dog ($863 / £734 / €800) and a man on a blue background ($831 / £706 / €770) by the artist Gabo Mendoza represented by the Volupt Art Gallery (Schiedam, Netherlands).
