vtwonen 'weer verliefd op je huis'
When Willemien and Laurens bought their house, they eagerly embarked on an extensive renovation. New floors, extensions at both the front and back, and a completely new kitchen. Everything was tackled. The foundation was promising, yet seven years on, the house still doesn’t quite feel like home.
That mainly comes down to their differing interior preferences. Willemien loves light pastels and a soft, fresh atmosphere, while Laurens is drawn to classic elements and deep, dark tones. Stylist Marlies comes to the rescue. She doesn’t see clashing styles, but opportunity. Her approach is to create a unifying base that brings calm and cohesion, without losing the personality of either Willemien or Laurens.
By choosing a subtly structured, linen‑look uni wallpaper, she adds refinement without overpowering the space. The calm walls now form a harmonious canvas, allowing light shades and dark accents to come together effortlessly.
The result is an interior that no longer feels like a compromise, but a carefully considered blend of two worlds. Exactly what Willemien and Laurens needed to finally make their house feel like a true family home.
