The design is the foundation of every project. In this phase we create the complete interior plan:
– floor plans and elevations
– professional 3D visualisations
– lighting plan and mood boards showing atmosphere, colour and materials
Only once this plan is in place can preparation begin.

how an interior project works.
Choc Studio designs, guides and realises interior projects for new builds, renovations and redecorations. Every design is made to be executed: an interior that holds up, not just a plan that looks good on paper. That's why feasibility comes first in our process, not last.
- from design to interior -
An interior project at Choc Studio moves through three phases: design, preparation and realisation, in that order. That sequence is fixed: skip the design and you'll prepare the wrong things, skip the plan and you'll buy the wrong things. How much Choc Studio handles in each phase is agreed after the introductory meeting and set out in a quote.
1. interior design
2. preparation
With the design as the basis, we guide the technical preparation. In this phase we liaise with all specialists involved: contractors, kitchen and bathroom suppliers, floor layers, custom joiners, electricians, painters and plasterers. We keep the overall picture and are available for every decision that arises during execution.
3. realisation
Once the design is complete and the build is prepared, the furnishing begins: from furniture selection and upholstery to storage, delivery, placement and styling. We work with a broad network of brands and suppliers, from international design labels to Dutch craftspeople, and select what best suits your budget and design.
materials and inspiration.
In our studio in Bennebroek we show examples of materials, furniture, and lighting we enjoy working with. This selection provides inspiration and illustrates our level, but doesn’t limit our advice. We have access to a broad spectrum of brands and suppliers: from international design labels to Dutch craftspeople. Our choice is always determined by what best suits your design.
collaboration with specialists.
Across our projects, we collaborate with specialist partners, including custom joiners, kitchen and bathroom suppliers, flooring specialists, electricians, painters, plasterers, and upholsterers. This network of craftsmen shares our commitment to care and precision. Thanks to this collaboration, quality is guaranteed from the initial design to the final handover.
frequently asked questions
what kind of projects does Choc Studio take on?
Choc Studio guides interior projects for new builds, renovations and redecorations. We prefer to work on whole houses or complete floors, as that gives the most coherent result.
how does a redecoration without building work run?
At Choc Studio, a redecoration goes through the same three phases as a renovation. After the design, we coordinate with the specialists needed, such as painters and upholsterers, and then take care of the furnishing.
how does the design process at Choc Studio work?
We work in a series of design sessions, developing the design step by step. After each session, you give your feedback and we make adjustments. Together, we refine the design until it fully matches your wishes.
what happens after the interior design?
After the design comes the preparation phase: we brief the specialists involved and make sure the work stays true to the design. This phase always brings questions and choices, from shades of colour to exact dimensions and from material quality to installation details. With our involvement, those choices are based on the plan rather than on whatever happens to be available.
how does buying furniture through Choc Studio work?
Choc Studio puts together your interior from the full range of brands and suppliers and places all the orders for you. We coordinate delivery times, arrange storage and transport, and take care of installation and styling. You have one point of contact for the entire interior.
what does it cost to work with Choc Studio?
Costs differ per phase. For the design (phase 1), you receive a fixed price based on the size and complexity of your project. For our support during the preparation (phase 2), we work on an hourly basis and give you an estimate of the hours in advance. What the furnishing will cost (phase 3) only becomes clear once the design is in place. We then translate your wishes and taste into a product proposal, showing the price of each item, so you can decide item by item.
