Bold and Beautiful

Before the interior styling began, a thorough renovation was carried out to make the outdated Amsterdam home suitable and environmentally future-proof.

For instance, the electric fireplace is the successor to the former fireplace and a component of the architectural element designed for the living room. The luxurious tiles incorporated into the fireplace hearth were placed as wall tiles in a slightly different shade in the beautiful bathroom and toilets.

The friendly character of the resident is reflected throughout the entire design. That is why you see many rounded shapes and soft fabrics, alternated with straight lines. Due to the contrast, these emphasize the soft character even more.” Chairs with rounded shapes, an organically shaped sofa, round tables with thick legs, and round rugs and light fixtures indeed set the tone, alternated with a sleek kitchen, luxurious gin bar, straight dining table, and straight desk. Thanks to the serene base of the floors and walls, the shapes really stand out. The seating furniture is upholstered in tactile and luxurious fabrics like velour and bouclé.

The master bedroom became the big sister of the guest room: The bed has robust, rounded shapes to exude a welcoming atmosphere. The headboard of the bed consists of custom spray-painted panels. The inspiration for these panels comes from the facets in the oak interior doors. These robust doors became a baseline for the new design. Only the door from the hallway to the living room was replaced by an aluminum door with glass, in order to keep the sightline to the living area as open as possible.”
