No well thought through caption today. Just happily sharing this attic with amazing powder pink bathroom again, because why not.

An interior architect isn’t cheap. I know.

But here is what people don’t always see. I can’t design a house in 2 hours. The layout alone takes days or weeks, depending on the scale of the project. Research, sketching, measuring … a design requires a lot of thinking and trying different things. Besides the research, sketching and drawing, there are also meetings with contractors, mails, calls, plans redone because changes need to be made.

Then the detailed plans. I make them quite early, before the quotation phase, because I believe it’s clearer for my clients and my contractors this way and it means fewer surprises later on. I refuse to rush them because “good enough” isn’t how this goes. And even after all that, there are still decisions that never make it onto a drawing but still need a conversation.

If I billed for every hour that actually goes into a project, my rates would look very different.

I’m not interested in convincing people my work is worth it. I believe it is. I’m looking for the ones who already know that, and want to build something with someone who puts in the time.

If that’s you, send me a message.

My designs are not fixed in stone. It’s a conversation and a voyage until the final design fits my clients needs perfectly.

This project is the perfect illustration of that. Swipe to see my first designs and the changes I made. In some projects the changes will be more significant form-wise. For this kitchen the overall shape stayed the same. It was inspired by the design my client, who is an architect, made for the terrace.

What did change was the added seating. And in the last revision, we also added a suspended hoof instead of a built in one.

The most notable changes however for this project are in the materials. Where I first used stainless steel and green, the project evolved to a much warmer terracotta dekton with blue. And in the last stages we toned down the blue a little bit. Whereas before I used it to cover the ceiling and wall, we toned it down a little bit.

I’m curious to find out which one you prefer.

For Caroline and Eric’s new home, the general design was already drafted by the architect. The kitchen however seemed to be missing something.

I helped define the details and brought some character to the design. For this I made two proposals.

In the original design the worktop was put in between the two cabinets for ovens and fridge. I chose to put the two cabinets together, this way opening up the counter. Rounded corners are used for soft circulation.

Proposal two integrates the door to the basement. This gives more volume to the kitchen wall, and makes the kitchen more prominent. In this design, the kitchen island is slightly bigger, giving more workspace.

Do you also need help with defining your kitchen or interior? I’d love to help. Send me a dm or an email and I’d happily give you more information.

Some random pictures of summer and yes, I slid in a bikini selfie to please the algorithm. And no, I don’t know if there is much value to give to you with this post. Just some random photos and a bit of insight in how my brain works. Because it is summer after all and we don’t need to be too serious the whole time, right?

And while I’m summering, I’m still working on some nice interior designs so there will be more interior inspo soon, don’t worry.

Some more tile love with this kitchen. It is one of the first interior projects I did independently and I still love it.

Unfortunately I don’t have professional photos taken, but it is what it is. I’m still happy to show it every now and then.

We made a big change on the floorplan with this one. The initial idea was to just place a new kitchen. The clients had recently installed new bespoke living room furniture and the kitchen was next. However, after looking at the plan, I proposed something a bit more radical.

The original location for the kitchen would be a much better place to put the living room: more spacious, less doors, and vice versa. We decided to switch the kitchen to where initially the sofa was, which meant it is now located next to the terrace: which makes it much better to host parties, and we got rid of useless circulation space behind the sofa.

And then the pièce de résistance: the tiles. We used tiles as the main character. The entire island and worktop are tiled in these soft green tiles with rounded corners.

The new living room cabinets? Don’t worry: we were able to move them entirely so they are still there.

The biggest star in this kitchen are the tiles.

We used them to make different zones in this limited space. There is a cooking area, a dining area and a relaxed seating area, all in 30 sq m.

We used tiles as a backsplash for easy cleaning and a pop of colour.

And we used tiles as a durable material for the steps to the terrace. Dog proof and easy to clean.

This kitchen is a colourful one, with soft hues, based on a sunset. Soft pinks are combined with shades of green and wood. And notice how the dark red grout in the pink tiles is also used to finish the white tiles. The end result is a bright yet soft interior that allows to move, cook and live in the space in an logical and organic way.

Not a professional photograph, meticulously staged to bring out the best features of the space, clean and put together this time. My client sent me this photo and I love it so much more. It shows what an interior is made for. And it shows I did a good job with designing this bright yellow children’s bedroom.

Why? Because it is being used. And I mean used the way kids use it. You can see the open door where he opened the door to take his toys, that are scattered across the floor. And sweet Titus concentrating on his Lego.

And that’s the best compliment I can get. And that’s also why I love these small projects. They give back so much love.
