Home Sweet Home ( written in Dutch and English) Shabby chic is een woonstijl die in Italië nu pas een trend is aan het worden. Persoonlijk vind ik de stijl een beetje passé en resulteert vaak in een té romantische Franse brocanterie sfeertje. Economisch is deze interieurstijl wel daar deze aanpak van inrichten dikwijls is gebaseerd op D.I.Y. Afgedankte meubelen krijgen een nieuw leven wat ik persoonlijk ook zalig vind.

For the love of white!
For the love of white ( written in English and Dutch) I am often asked why I mostly choose white walls in my interiors. The white is often labeled as cold and dull, instead my interiors are experienced as warm and inspiring. White walls are the perfect starting point for any interior, whatever style gets your preference. Using the wrong or too many colors generates a very restless feeling.

As a big fan of Feng Shui interiors, which stands for fresh, cleaned interiors filled with lots of natural light, I opt for a lot of white. White…
