Real Plants, Real People: Chef Alexia Duchêne

Alexia Duchene New York apartment

French chef Alexia Duchêne doesn’t just have great taste when it comes to food: her New York City apartment is a treasure trove of eye-candy, and the perfect, well-appointed backdrop for creating.


How did you know this home was for you?

This is our first apartment since we moved in New York with my husband in February for a new life in the USA! It’s at the center of neighborhoods we love in Brooklyn: Fort Greene, Prospect Park and Clinton Hill. Being near Prospect Park was really important for us as we go for long walks with our dog Ralph almost every day.

What inspires you when you decorate?

I’ve always loved interior design! I love bringing different styles and touch of colors. Photography and arts really make me happy to look at in the morning and I tend to go towards a minimalistic interior where I buy less but really get pieces I love and will cherish for a long time.

What are your plant care secrets?

In general, I would say less is more! I try not to overwater my plants and almost forget about it and water them when I feel it’s right and it usually works!
