Before I had the idea to start an interior consultancy business, my husband and I found ourselves buying our first home.

I remodeled it, staged it and the results were unbelievable. The new aesthetics increased the value drastically. I was hooked!

​

I love the transformation and I love creating increased value. I love designing homes, and I love the freedom to design my own life. Life is too short to be unhappy and it's so important to follow your passions.

​

And now it's time for the story of our Space Creation and Transformation...

The space of the apartment we bought was already amazing, but not used to its full potential. A spacious, open living and kitchen area with lots of big windows, not just this room, but all rooms are flooded with light. We transformed the apartment, room by room in the most cohesive way possible.

We removed walls, changed the floor, removed radiators, added indirect lighting, completely remodeled the bathroom and for budget reasons, we upcycled the kitchen. This meant: Removing and adding kitchen cupboards, painting them & adding new handles, removing tiles, adding clever storage space, adding new countertops and getting new kitchen appliances in.

And of course, our personal highlight: We added a breakfast bar with high stools, this is the space where we mingle the most. Out of limited space and of course aesthetic reasons, we used a small wall to create a bar area. We added shelving, to gain additional space and to expose the glasses.

Bringing the outside inside! This is also something I love to do. I added a lot of greenery across the whole apartment.

Another highlight, the centerpiece in our spacious living area, is our sustainable bioethanol fireplace. The fireplace is not just a beautiful design feature, it also gives our home this cosy feeling we enjoy so much.
