Private visit to Séverine, founder of Titlee – Billie Blanket

Séverine Balanqueux’s home, just a stone’s throw from the capital where she recently opened her first shop, complements the sophistication of Title, the jewelry and accessories brand she founded a decade ago. Title boasts numerous timeless collections and collaborations, and in recent months has launched a range of exquisite trinkets collected by Séverine during her travels and encounters. Title is like a light butterfly, offering a sanctuary of lightness and ease.

This same atmosphere permeates the home of Séverine, Olivier, and their two daughters, Romy and Suzanne: a loving and welcoming space filled with carefully selected or collected objects, exquisite designs, ingenious creativity, and meticulously chosen color combinations that give the rooms structure and add vibrancy and warmth. In designing her jewelry collections, Séverine draws inspiration from her travels, paintings, colors, landscapes, and illustrations—inspiration reflected in almost every corner of her home. With the help of the talented interior designer Caroline Geffriaud, she completely renovated the house, floor to ceiling. Geffriaud redesigned the ground floor, rearranged the room layout, created an office area, and a truly luxurious bathroom—not to mention the electrical systems, plumbing, and windows that needed replacing! In short: it’s a masterpiece. The house is also full of wonderful design ideas waiting to be discovered. Enjoy your visit and have a wonderful holiday!
