We take a look at Anouk's 1960s home in Leiden.
Sustainable
Anouk studied art history and did a master’s degree in design. Together with her boyfriend, she has a business in vintage lighting and typewriters. The products get a second chance. Sustainability is an important part of their philosophy.
Model: Moa in Soft Silk
Interior plans
The love for interior design was there from a young age. To apply it even better in practice, an interior design course at the Nia Academy was a nice addition. It started with interior designs for friends. Meanwhile, Anouk also gives professional advice.
Inspiration
"Scandinavian, modern with a bit of color here and there, that's my style in a nutshell." Inspiration comes mostly from Instagram. To each idea she gives her own twist. A favorite item is felt artwork made from natural materials.
Lounge sofa Moa
A new sofa was the first thing we bought for the house. Friends had sofa Moa on display, "it sat wonderfully, and we were sold right away." Color Soft Silk fits the space perfectly. The hocker is beautiful and practical, you can stretch out comfortably. I therefore prefer to lie in the corner of the sofa."
Light
The couple regularly goes on work trips to Denmark. Winters are long and dark there, so there is a lot of focus on atmospheric lighting. When decorating a house, light is often somewhat forgotten. But that is precisely an important starting point to start a plan with. Where will the contact points be and at what different places and heights will light sources be placed? "Now of course I work with beautiful fixtures every day, so it's 2nd nature to me. We see that people are increasingly daring to choose lamps in color."
Tip from Anouk
"Look at second-hand products, that's how you come across unique things. In a secondhand store or Marktplaats, you can score nice items here. Often for a soft price."
