Episode 3: Sarah & Lasse

Sarah and her son Lasse had a lovely home in Alkmaar, but they had to move when Lasse was diagnosed with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. This led to a list of specific requirements that presented the experts with quite a challenge. In the end, everything worked out perfectly.

The ground floor of the new house in Alkmaar is perfectly suited to Lasse’s needs, and the eye-catching lift ensures that stairs are no longer an issue. The interior stands out for its many colours and cheerful feel. Curious which of our furniture pieces have found their way into this home? Then read on. All the furniture you see can be tailored entirely to your wishes!

At first glance at Sarah and Lasse’s new interior, the abundance of colours immediately stands out. Are you also a fan of using lots of different colours, but not quite sure what to consider when planning a makeover? Then we’ve got a few tips for you. Choose a calm base colour, such as warm white, light grey or sand.

It’s also wise to let the other colours reappear in a few places throughout the room. A 60-30-10 rule is often used. In broad terms, this means that 60% of the interior consists of the base colour, 30% of a second colour, perhaps reflected in the curtains, chairs or a cabinet. And 10% of accent colours, you can then bring the accent colours back in accessories, cushions and lighting. One extra tip: do you have a bookcase? Try arranging your books by colour for a lovely effect.

To say that the dining room consists of a unique collection of furniture would be an understatement. The experts have combined pieces and colours you don’t often come across, yet they work beautifully together. The organic concrete-look Leaf dining table is a real eye-catcher. When you think of concrete-look, you might immediately picture classic grey, but this version in Hague Blue shows just how much more is possible with this material. Take a look at our concrete-look page if you’d like to learn more about it. Spoiler: we have over 25 colours in store for you.

For the seating, a combination of dining chairs and a dining bench was chosen. This was partly done to save space. A dining bench, for instance, can easily be placed against the wall to make the most efficient use of the room. Dining bench Lou and three Neo dining chairs complete the set. Unsure about the upholstery for your new seating, or would you like to see a few colours side by side? Then it’s good to know that we sell colour samples. All colour samples are also available in our furniture stores.
