Jag hoppas ni har en bra sommar vart ni än befinner er just nu. Själv bor jag på Styrsö i Södra skärgården utanför Göteborg denna sommar. Vissa dagar är fasligt blåsigt och andra dagar är bara helt ljuvliga. Det är typiskt skiftande Svenskt sommarväder denna Juli. Men vi kan iaf vara glada vi inte har den farliga hettan i övriga Europa, med bränder överallt.
Idag är jag glad att presentera ett av mina favorithem på Instagram det Holländska kontot @gooisemannen. Det var love at first site när jag först såg detta hem på Instagram. Och jag kände jag bara måste ha med detta gudomligt snygga hem som veckans Instagram hem. Det känns även extra kul att ha med ett utländskt hem där jag intervjuar på Engelska och inte bara Svenska hem.
Här kan ni läsa min Instagram intervju med paret Derkan and John som ligger bakom den fantastiska dekoren.
Stuckaturen, golvet i äkta trä och möblerna allt gifter sig i perfektion!
TELL US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHO YOU ARE AND WHERE YOUR HOME IS LOCATED?
We are Derkan and John. Entrepreneurs from The Netherlands. A year ago we moved from Amsterdam to a small town, a 20 minute drive from our capital. At first we did not want to leave Amsterdam since we hold office in Amsterdam, most of our friends live in Amsterdam and we love everything the city has to offer – except the house prices. We fell in love with our new place instantly – it needed some renovations, but we definitely saw opportunities – so leaving Amsterdam wasn’t that hard after all.
YOU HAVE A FANTASTIC HOME! HOW DID YOU COME UP WITH YOUR DECOR STYLE?
Our house was built in 1902. We love all its classical elements and wanted to keep those as much as possible. But we also like our place to be modern. Somehow the house guided us since its structure is pretty clear. We love the combination of natural materials – we are true marble lovers – and marble and wood is a match made in heaven. Wood, marble and the whitest of white walls formed the basis of our home.
IF YOU HAVE DONE A HOME RENOVATION TELL US ABOUT IT? WHAT WAS THE BEST PARTS AND WORRST PARTS?
We renovated during lockdown. So it feels like we made the best of our time. We love the kitchen being open now. There are no best or worst parts. It’s a renovation – you just have to get through it.
WHERE DO YOU GET THE MOST INSPIRATION TO YOUR HOME FROM?
Movies and every day life.
WHAT ARE YOUR FAVORITE COLORS AND MATERIALS TO DECORATE WITH?
White, black, beige and a touch of pink and yellow. We love to work with marble. There is no such thing as too much marble. People should not be afraid to mix and match different types of marble.
WHICH FURNISHINGS/DECOR ARE YOU MOST PROUD OF?
We love our pink marble dining table which we made ourselves. And we must say, the Cassina Soriana sofa has been on our wishlist for quite a while.
WHAT IS YOUR WORST INTERIOR BUY? SOMETHING YOU REGRET?
The first couch we bought, we bought online since we were in quarantine. It looked nice but it was not comfortable at all. That couch we sold again quickly.
IS THERE ANY FURNITURE THAT WOULD NEVER COME INSIDE YOUR DOOR?
Anything velvet and the B&B Italia fauteuil.
TO EVERYONE OUT THERE WHO HAS A HARD TO FIND THEIR OWN INTERIOR DESIGN STYLE, DO YOU HAVE ANY TIP?
Check Insta and save the pics you like. Combine something old with something new and anything marble. Be cohesive!
DO YOU HAVE ANY FAVORITE INSTAGRAM ACCOUNTS IN INTERIORS?
@homesemerizing
DO YOU THINK YOU WILL COMPLETELY CHANGE INTERIOR STYLE ONE DAY ?
No, we will be adding or replacing stuff. Only a brand new house might make us wanna think about a new interior style. For now it feels everything is in the right place.
IF YOU COULD DESIGN YOUR OWN FURNITURE IN INTERIORS, WHAT WOULD IT BE THEN?
We already do! We create marble accessories. Simple yet elegant designs. Please check stonedamsterdam.com
IF YOU HAVE PETS, DO YOU HAVE ANY TIPS FOR DECOR? WHAT TO AVOID, WHATS GOOD ETC.
Don’t avoid anything bacause you have pets. You simply have to train them.
WHICH CELEBRITY DO YOU THINK YOU HAVE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL INTERIOR STYLE?
Derkan would say The Kardashians, John loves the home of Troye Sivan.
MANY PEOPLE ON SOCIAL MEDIA NOW HAVE A TENDENCY TO COPY EACH OTHER’S INTERIORS AND YOU OFTEN SEE THE SAME LAMPS, TABLES, PUFFS ETC. ON ALL BLOGS AND INSTAGRAMS. WHY DO YOU THINK IT IS SO? CAN THERE BE A FEAR TO STAND OUT OF THE CROWD AND BE UNIQUE?
We have no fear at all. We just buy what we like and don’t bother how things would come off or what others think. It’s the way we combine things that make it unique. Some designs are just timeless and classic and deserve to be in anyones interior. If you really really like it, just buy it!
AND FINALLY WHAT INTERIOR TRENDS DO YOU LIKE THE MOST SO FAR THIS YEAR?
Timeless classics and anything beige.
