A FEW THINGS ABOUT ME

I'm a Belgian who settled in Romania, after spending a few years in Italy.

My roots are in Fashion Design so this discipline and training translated naturally into my current Interior Design career.

I love to work with genuinely creative people, as revealed within a series of workshops that I facilitated in the last couple of years.

Inspiring and being inspired, is something that I now actively pursue through Interior Design classes and professional counseling. I love unlocking people's creative potential and talent and I have discovered my love of teaching and coaching.

I love the art and culture of different countries and to better understand their cultures I have learnt the languages of France, Italy, England and Romania as well as my native Flemish. This helps me and my clients on our searches for special pieces, commissioned pieces throughout Europe.

Autumn Palette

October 01, 2016 in Getting inspired, Colour palette

Autumn is the time for warm, rich and cosy colours. It is largely associated with dark colours, but it is time to rethink your autumn colour palette. Classical autumn colours are hues of burnt orange, red, golden yellow, hunters green, and chocolate brown. Pastels and intense colours shouldn't be considered only for spring and summer.
