How to completely transform an interior with minimal resources. This project was a true transformation! A client reached out to me, wishing to redesign her living room. She wanted:
• Better lighting;
• Increased storage space;
• A stylish and vibrant interior without excessive flamboyance.

LIVING ROOM IN AMERICAN GLAMOUR STYLE, The Netherlands, 2025

The Problem: The room was dark, lacked functionality, and choosing furniture, curtains, and accessories proved to be a challenge. This was her first renovation project in the Netherlands.

The Task: To retain the existing kitchen and sofa, emphasize the beauty of the windows, and seamlessly incorporate the client’s favorite colors — sea blue and yellow.

The Solution: We created a bright, stylish interior with refined details that reflect the client’s love for traveling to America, all while staying within budget.

What We Did:

Functional Symmetry: We removed an old niche and built a symmetrical cabinet structure that now separates the living room from the kitchen.
- On the living room side: cabinets with built-in lighting and glass doors. The client now uses them to store a family china set that had been gathering dust in the garage.
- On the kitchen side: the same cabinet functions as a coffee station with additional built-in waste storage.
Kitchen Enhancements: We added IKEA wall cabinets and an eye-catching round light fixture to make the space more practical and cozy.
Classic Elements: Ceiling cornices, wall moldings, and high baseboards added volume and sophistication to the interior, referencing classic design.
A Central Feature: A mirror designed according to my sketches became the key focal point in the dining area. It highlights the shape of the windows and fills the space with daylight.
Furniture and Zoning:
- We retained the previous sofa arrangement and complemented the space with a seating area.
- Added floor lamps that create a cozy atmosphere in the evening and visually define the living area.
- Repainted an old TV stand to match the new sideboard.
Decor: Posters and a painting by a local artist from The Hague tied the color palette together, adding personality to the space.
Lighting: Our team chased the walls for new electrical outlets. We added wall and floor lighting, as well as additional sockets for convenience.
Exterior: In the garden, we planted evergreen climbers. By summer, they will form a living green wall, enhancing the connection between the interior and nature as envisioned in the renderings.

The Result: The interior became bright, functional, and sophisticated. The client was thrilled, and the neighbors can’t resist peeking in for inspiration.
