Jordane Arrivetz is an interior designer who finds her inspiration from different aspects of the design culture, especially the 50s and 60s. The apartment she styled combines modern, clean lines, like the kitchen counter and bathroom, with vintage elements like the old ladder in the kitchen and the frames in the living room. I think both are very well combined and give the apartment character and personality.
There´s something about vintage furniture pieces. They make a home look original and personal. Other than the built quality, vintage pieces usually tell a story. Finding out and fantasizing about where a chair or table came from, who the person was that owned it and the reason why he or she bought this piece of furniture make it a unique experience, which you could never have with a new piece. Personally, I like vintage the most when it is combined with a few newer pieces. Old and new go really well together if you ask me.

Muted colors fit the winter season coming up and make everything look soft. The grey and black complements well with the muted color of the floor ad bring out the details added to this lovely apartment styled by Natasja Molenaar.
Giving a character to a home, and making a house your home, means adding personal elements to it, showing who you are and what you´re passionate about. I have a feeling the owner of this apartment has something with Chemistry, as this was used as a theme to decorate. I really like it, it’s different and graphical. This and the pretty furniture aside, I’m a big fan of the bricks showing in the kitchen as well.
