7 KEY ITEMS FOR A BADASS INTERIOR UPDATE
Chill people, are you also feeling that winter depression? MAN MAN I SURE AM. Sorry, but that had to be in capitals. Anyway, I came up with a good tip against winter depression and that tip is that you just need to give your interior a big fat update.
Chill peoples, chill, there’s nothing wrong, a big fat interior update is super easy. Just take the following reasonably sublime interior tips into account.
Ta-dah.
1. Hold on: you need a room divider. Preferably an art deco room divider, because art deco (and art nouveau by the way) will be all the rage in the near future. Nice, because secretly I’m quite done with the mid-century messing around. Not into art deco or art nouveau? Strange, I must say, but your immediately (!) to acquire room divider can also be a Chinese screen and a vintage piece made of wood or bamboo will also do just fine. The effect of a room divider is by the way not bad: they create an intimate and extremely luxurious – what am I saying: cinematic atmosphere in salons, dining rooms, living rooms, and bedrooms.
2. It’s true. With the disappearance of the Christmas tree, the atmosphere in the house also disappeared. But you can breathe a sigh of relief, because a heavily filled plant table will absolutely change that. Quickly buy one of these cool interior books about envy-inducing houses and their envy-inducing plants, because in this you will undoubtedly find a lot of insssspirrraaaattssie for such a table.
I have no idea why I wrote the word inspiration so weirdly. I think I just thought: come on Rens, be a little crazy. The world is definitely going to be on fire starting tomorrow, so we could use a bit of fun!
3. All that old, ugly cutlery is going out the door ASAP. The idea? Eating with your hands. Delightfully liberating! MOEHAHAHA just kidding bitches. You are going to order this sublime ‘vintage’ cutlery: Bricklane Cutlery by KNINDUSTRIE. A beautiful, elegant, and historically looking cutlery that you don’t have to polish, and forever and always retains that cool (dull) antique look. Rustic (but chic) table linen on the side and the little beast is ready.
Little beast??
Well. Doesn’t matter.
4. You don’t just create a completely new atmosphere in the bedroom with a room divider, also an antique wooden bed works wonders. Preferably an art nouveau or an art deco bed, although a Scandinavian bed is also cool. Stronger, your grandma’s wooden bed from Friesland will also do, as long as it’s a nice old-fashioned yet sophisticated bed.
5. Oh yes, my eye also fell on this velvet green sofa from Anthropologie. Greenery is incredibly happening this year, the fresh green color gives your interior a top-notch quirky ‘lift’. All that’s left for me to say is: have fun playing castle.
6. Chinese and Japanese influences are in vogue this year. Preferably a bit raw, real, and lived-in – something different from all that brass and gold. What do you think of this Lombok buffet (also) from Anthropologie. Quite a good plan, right?
7. And the hottest dining chairs – sorry, dining chairs – of the moment are the Beetle chairs from Gubi. I saw them at Parc Broekhuizen and since then they’ve been stuck in my head. Why? Simple. Because this is absolute office chic for home, that’s why!
