These pouffes, designed by Ineke Visser, can be used outdoors as they are crocheted from polyester. The material used feels as soft as cotton does.

There are also plant containers available that are made from the same material. For more information you can click here.

domino editor deborah needleman’s tribeca loft
published February 17, 2009 in inspiration and interiors | 0 comments


These are images from Domino editor Deborah Needelman’s cool apartment in Tribeca, New York. The living room shows Deborah’s taste for pale and off-white colours. The apartment is a mix of Swedish table and chairs and big, cheap paper lanterns. In the master bedroom (right image), a mica-tiled globe hangs above a headboard Needleman designed and had made.

The daughter’s room is done up in inexpensive sari fabric from Queens, while their son’s room has a Paul Smith rug.

living in a chapel

Today’s post shows a 19th century chapel situated in the quaint Flemish village of Bazel (Belgium) that has been reconverted into 2 loft-type houses. Look at those high windows, aren’t they gorgeous?

Happy weekend everyone! Our new sofa arrived today and it looks even more beautiful than I thought it would! The living room is almost finished and I hope to post some photos soon.

very small house in antwerp
published February 11, 2009 in architecture, inspiration and interiors | 10 comments


This house in Antwerp, Belgium, was recently featured in a Dutch interior magazine. What is special about his house is that it is very small. It is only 2,40 meter wide and 5,50 meters deep. The owners, an architect-couple, designed the house for themselves.

Every floor has its function: the ground floor is the work-area, the first floor is for eating, the second floor for relaxing, the top floor for sleeping and on the roof you can enjoy the view from the bathtub. (image by Verne)

Update: the architects are Pieter Peerlings and Silvia Mertens from sculp(it). Thanks for the info Johan!

grey & brown paint colours
published November 4, 2008 in bathroom, inspiration and walls | email | print | 2 comments


Dutch paint company Histor has some gorgeous new grey and brown colours in their collection.

The rich grey and brown colours give a warm atmosphere to a room. The brown color on the photo is from the Shades collection. Velvet powder has been added to the paint which gives a natural and soft effect.

With Shades paint you can create the same feel as a clay plastered wall. I think that this paint is great to be used on a bathroom wall. If you add the right accessories you can design you own private hammam! The thick towels and hammam towels in the image above are available from Le Souk.

Histor also has a 3D paint in their collection with which you can add structure to a wall (image above).

For more information and to see other colours you can visit the Histor website.
