MEL interiors

"An interior is the natural projection of the soul." Coco Chanel Mel Design is an interior design studio in Amsterdam.

We believe that a good design can transform any ordinary place into an exceptional and personal one. We provide expert advice on choosing a new house or renovating your existing house; making the best layout for your home, always thinking about function as well as esthetics; deciding on materials, furniture, lighting and accessories.

We have a new artist in the house!

Claire’s artwork will be showcased in our studio over the coming months — unless someone falls in love with it and takes it home sooner.

Specially when designing homes, we see ourselves as guides, gentle facilitators of someone else’s narrative. The client sets the rhythm; we translate it into form, texture, and light.

This was a deeply personal project, where a cherished collection became the protagonist. We created a serene and soulful foundation, layering in subtle new elements that honour the past while allowing the home to breathe in the present.

What our studio offers beyond projects (part 01)

More than a design studio — a showroom where you can discover and shop our curated pieces!

Calacatta Viola — love it or hate it?

There’s rarely an in-between with this one.

Some see bold, artistic, unforgettable.
Others see too much, too loud, too… dramatic.

And maybe that’s exactly the point.

Our take?
Use it if it matches your personality.

Are you daring?
Do you love statement pieces, contrast, standing out or even a little drama?

Then Calacatta Viola is for you.

Because great design isn’t just about trends — it’s about creating a space that feels like you. Always!

Designing this home was such a pleasure. A warm palette of browns layered with a bold touch of blue creates a space that feels both grounded and playful—perfectly reflecting the owners’ vision.

As a design duo, this is a question we’re frequently asked…

How is it to work as a duo studio?

For us, it comes down to a few things:
1. Respect each other’s strengths and weaknesses:
Knowing what each of us brings—and supporting where it’s needed most.
2. Think as one team:
There’s no “mine” or “yours.” Every project, every mistake, every win—we share it all.
3. Enjoy the process together:
Beyond work, it’s about trust, connection, and genuinely liking being around each other.
4. Admire who you work with:
Not just the talent, but the person. That’s what builds something long-lasting.
5. Choose the team over ego:
No competition—only growth. Always for the good of the studio.

Art is the final expression of a home — a statement of identity, emotion, and intention.

Each piece we curate is chosen not only for its aesthetic, but for the story it carries and the atmosphere it creates. True luxury lies in meaning.

We invite you to visit our studio and discover our carefully curated selection of artists, where every artwork reveals a narrative waiting to be lived with.

*Visits are by appointment only, allowing us to dedicate time to guide you through the stories behind each piece!

Tiles are used beyond the bathroom, bringing texture and character to unexpected areas of the home.

• Photo 2: In the hallway, they transform a transitional space into a distinctive design feature.
• Photo 3: In the dining area, a tiled bench becomes an unexpected statement piece.
• Photo 4: In the TV room the tiles extend across the fireplace wall, creating a bold and focal point.
