Tip 1: Don’t be afraid to change your interior

I love to use my home as a test lab! If I haven’t painted anything for a few weeks, the paint cans literally call out to me from the closet. Keep mixing accessories, redecorate furniture or change their location - simply enjoy being your own, everyday interior stylist. Don’t worry if you’re not satisfied with some of your rearrangements - only practice makes perfect

Tip 2: Keep things simple

I like fresh white canvas decorated with vintage design or handmade items, mostly in fresh or soft pastel colors. I’d much rather have one item that I really love than five things I just like. Don’t shop on impulse, always take your time before buying something for your home.

Tip 3: Go crazy sometimes

My favorite piece of furniture is the vintage cupboard that my partner and I bought at a thrift store. I loved it from the first sight, but it seemed too expensive, given its bad condition. At first, we decided not to get it, but after a while we started to have second thoughts and finally got back and buy it anyway. We gave the little cupboard some love with oil and wood paste and now I think it will last forever!

Tip 4: Hunt for treasures

I like to search the internet for new treasures. I look for both new and second-hand items and design pieces as well as less expensive finds. For me, it’s very important that they’re not things that everybody likes and buys. I want stuff that is unique and available in a smaller scale. For that reason, I always search for small websites or designers that sell their own work. It’s so much more fun to purchase something in a small shop than from a big chain.

Tip 5: Do things just your own way

I think that’s my best tip I can give anyone. Make the choices yourself. Fill your home with items you really love and that make you happy. These days you can find inspiration everywhere. I like to scroll through Instagram and see all kinds of interiors, but I have to stay true to myself. Something I’ve learned over the years is to choose what makes you happy and don’t do what everyone else is already doing.
