From water damage to beach house vibe
A water damage had occurred in the kitchen. Water had spilled on the laminate floor and you could already see the bubble in the laminate and the damage had to be repaired. As the laminate flooring ran continuously and without thresholds through the kitchen, living room and hallway, there were a few options on how to solve the problem. Either to replace the flooring material everywhere or to replace only the kitchen area and match the material to the surrounding laminate. First, I thought I would suggest doing the whole floor...

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...

An incredible 17 square metres
Making a small home cosy? A studio apartment of just an unimaginable 17 square metres can be fitted with the necessary functions in a beautiful and practical way. Incredible, but true. The tenant had the desire to renovate the apartment into a comfortable home. They wanted a Scandi industrial style, with broken natural colours. The resident had already decided on a copper-coloured kitchen tap and the kitchen plans were already in the process of being drawn up. At the right time, I got to the rest of the overall design and colour scheme...

Be in the living room
We wanted the living room of a mother and two sons to be a cosy and warm nest. The solutions were functional, easy to use and not superfluous. The centrally located central problem was the tower of the kitchen island. It was perceived as a difficult visual barrier. The plafond in the ceiling, on the other hand, created a bright industrial lighting atmosphere, not so homely. The living room was just the family's sons' PlayStation, which was going to move to the kids' room anyway, so...

If you can't, you can't
It didn't go according to plan. But not always in life. In the end, however, it turned out all right for the end result. Due to the plumbing renovation, both the kitchen and the bathroom of the family of three had to be replaced. The residents wanted the kitchen to be functional and nice. They wanted mud and Moroccan tiles. Something like that in terms of tone and material. Not white, too modern and also not a deadpan look. Smooth high gloss cabinets...

My dream kitchen shows the spirit of the forest
Yes! A journalist puts my thoughts on the best of the kitchen into words. In the Home Dreams supplement of the Italian newspaper, you can read an interview about the renovation of our kitchen and its atmosphere after a year of use. I talk about how the wooden elements and DIY felt important and I talk about the microcement wall. The interview was conducted in the super-hot late summer, so the editor and photographer had hot spots to get the footage into the can. Quite a fun nuance in this twist on interior design...

What is a hole, what is full
Black and white. Hole-in-one. Front-back. I'm looking for round shapes and holes. How many places can you apply the ball-hole-neck counterpart to create a repeating shape in the interior of a home. A painting of a bamboo artwork depicted from the bottom up. A hole is left in the middle, showing the sky. The painting stands as an extension of a white table against the wall. A black round tray can be placed on top of the table. The hole in the sky is as if it has bulged out onto the table as a physical...

The move has happened!
From now on, we will live in a new home. Reporting will now take place from the new mattress in the living room, which will serve as a sofa for the time being. There's not much other furniture yet, but that doesn't matter much. Mostly on my mind is the rub from the renovation part of the bathroom, where the custom-made cabinetry is unfinished, which means the level can't be put in, which means the faucet and sink can't be used. The contractors left the job unfinished...
