How much does an interior designer cost? It's one of the most searched questions online and one of the worst answered. You'll find hourly rates, day rates, percentages of the build cost and package prices that are almost impossible to compare against each other. That's because an interior project is made up of three different [...]
Your home makes sense on paper. The kitchen works, the bedrooms are where they should be, and technically everything is in the right place. And yet it doesn't feel right. The living room stays somehow empty and the atmosphere you had in mind isn't there. If you've recently moved to the Netherlands it's even harder [...]
You've got a folder full of screenshots, a Pinterest board that keeps growing, and maybe a few magazines with dog-eared pages. The inspiration is there. But when someone asks what kind of interior you want, you find it hard to say. Many people start their project with images and end up with doubt. The step [...]
The ink on the purchase contract for your new build home is barely dry when the post arrives from the contractor. A list of optional extras: five pages full of terms like two-way switching, empty conduits, extra socket outlets and light point relocation, with a deadline underneath. You thought you had time, that you could [...]
AI has made the perfect interior feel within reach. You type in what you want and seconds later there's a complete living room on your screen. Warm, stylish, exactly the vibe you were after. So the question comes up: do you still need an interior designer? Or is that old-fashioned now? The answer depends on [...]

That's how trends work. Before you make any decisions, ask yourself a different question: what will you still like in five years? What [...]
The contractor calls. He wants to know where the light switches go. The painter starts next week and needs to know what finish the walls are getting. Someone from the kitchen supplier is asking for measurements. You have drawings that work on paper, but no one's told you what needs to happen right now. An [...]
You've unpacked. You've arranged the furniture. You've bought a few things to make it feel more like yours. But walking in still feels like walking into someone else's space. Everyone tells you it takes time. That may be true emotionally. But if your home doesn't feel right after moving, there's often a more concrete reason, [...]
You have floor plans from the architect, a folder full of inspiration images and maybe an initial conversation with a contractor behind you. But what will it actually look like when it's done? That's still anyone's guess. A 3D interior visualisation answers the questions a floor plan can't: what the materials do to a space, [...]
The floors are down. The kitchen's in place. And somehow, it doesn't feel the way you'd imagined. That's usually the moment people realise what was missing from the start: a plan. When you're thinking about hiring an interior designer, the question most people ask is whether it's worth it. A more useful question is what [...]
