Interior designer cost: it's one of the most searched topics in home design, and one of the least clearly answered. You'll find hourly rates, day rates, percentages of the build cost and package deals that barely compare to each other. That's not because anyone's hiding anything. It's because no two interior projects are the same. [...]
Your home makes sense on paper. The layout works, the rooms are where they should be, everything is technically in order. But it doesn't feel right. The living room is too neutral, too cold, or just somehow flat. The atmosphere you had in mind simply isn't there. And if you've recently moved to the Netherlands, [...]
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's barely dry on the purchase contract when you get post from the contractor. A long list of extras. Five pages full of terms like switching circuits, empty conduits, extra power outlets, light point relocation. And a deadline. You thought you had time. That you could first think calmly about what the living room [...]
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 [...]
You're flicking through an interiors magazine and a living room catches your eye. Warm, sharp, just right. Two years later you open the same magazine and think: I wouldn't do that now. That's how trends work. The question to ask before you make any decisions isn't: what do I like right now? It's: what will [...]
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. It isn’t the right question. The [...]
