Upgrading the studio toilets
The toilets, which were perceived as dull and unlit, needed to be updated to make them more welcoming, with a small surface makeover. There were two toilets side by side, in a unisex design. The style had to be rough, clean, functional and in keeping with the look of the studios. The means to achieve this were painting and decorating, no fixed furniture or other structural elements were changed here. The white walls were yellowed and dirty, so I started by painting these...

Car garage cinema room
The family of four wanted to convert the garage into a cinema room and exercise room. In addition to the movie experience, they wanted the room to be easily transformed into a space where they could relax, unwind and exercise. The atmosphere should be cosy, serene, natural, soft and calming. They wanted to keep the rings and air yoga fabric attached to the ceiling. The space had three windows, white walls and one wall of storage shelves covered with curtains. My vision was...

New site furnishing materials together
When the builder sends you a brochure on material choices, it may be useful to send it to the interior designer. When building a new property, all materials should be chosen at once. If you want to spend your time on something else, you can also outsource the selection of materials, practicality and the character of your home at this stage. It was at this stage, when the house was still being built, that I helped with the choices. As with the interior design, this is also...

New furniture and colouring for your new home
The family was in the process of buying a new home, and were excited about their new choice, but needed some interior design tips. The family felt that their new home was a bit impersonal and colourless, too white. When they moved into this new one, they wanted more atmosphere and colour. Black, brown and green were mentioned as their favourite colours. Grey, oak and pink were also mentioned as nice colours for the interior. ...

The red thread is blue
A family of four wanted timelessness, unity, cosiness and greenery in their living room. They wanted a classic living room with a touch of funk. The home is otherwise decorated in the style of the 60s, so they also wanted the living room, which felt unfinished, to be designed with a 60s vibe, but not a direct time capsule to the past. Plants were liked, but their placement was a source of uncertainty. My view of the whole: the exterior of the building had been painted in dark blue as well as white, and...

Towards strong colour, harmony and comfort
A family of four wanted a living and dining area that was cosy, homely and warm. They wanted to get rid of the massive mirrored cabinetry and find a solution to the clutter on the open shelves. The living room needed a cat-proof leather sofa with a divan section that was easy to vacuum underneath. A new place for the wall clock, with numbers on the clock to make it easy for a schoolchild to learn our concept of time. All the furniture could be replaced except the dining table chairs...

Microcementing for the bathroom
I wanted a rough-looking microcement for the bathroom walls and floor. I had already fallen in love with the material during the renovation of a previous apartment, where we did the microcementing ourselves on the empty straight walls of the kitchen. For the bathroom, however, I would recommend a professional, as the bathroom, with its many corners and tiles, is a pretty demanding object.

Pool and cabinet -love
The whole idea of transforming the bathroom started with my long coveted Woodio wooden sink. When the opportunity came my way, I snapped up the offer in May, four months before the upcoming renovation was due to begin. At that point, I didn't even know if I could get permission from the condo association to renovate the bathroom and what other changes I might make. But I had a sink. The colour shade is called Arctic, in shades of dark blue, charcoal grey, black. The shade was...
