Residential Interior Design
Bring exceptional interior design to your residence, wherever in the world your home or vacation home might be and experience a true ‘Sense of Home’ every time you enter your space.
With years of experience in residential interior design, in this section Simone provides insights into the world of interior design and takes a closer look at different aspects of an interior. She explores with you how every element plays an important role in the overall look and feel of a space, because she strongly believes that interior design is all about striking a balance between contrast and harmony.
Simone’s been responsible for designing and renovating primary residences and holiday homes worldwide, creating a ‘Sense of Home’ and wellbeing for her clients.
In her articles she writes about varying design and decorating styles and shares with you curated on-trend tips on furniture, lighting, curtains, rugs and much more from all over the globe.
Discover how living rooms, bedrooms, home offices, bathrooms and kitchens can be transformed with the right materials and clever use of colours. Colours and materials have a direct impact on our emotions and as such our homes affect our health and wellbeing.
