The Flemish interiors of today are characterized by the use of natural (new or recuperation), materials and elements.
Oakwood for furniture and woodpaneling. Parquet, natural stone, terra cotta tiles or brick as flooring materials.
Lime paint on the walls. Linen used as seat upholstery or slipcovers and as curtains fabric.
The interiors of today give you the impression as if they were created a long time ago and never have been changed for years.
Our Belgian designer Axel Vervoordt has been a trendsetter for the look of a lot of these Flemish interiors. Did you know that this week he is named by the British design house Andrew Martin as "Designer of the year 2009" ? If you want to read more about it, you could visit the garvinweasel blog. James, the author of the blog did a post about the nomination (here).

So many beautiful rooms!! I love the look of wood ceiling beams. The room with the coffee table on wheels and the very last room are my favourites.

Hallo Greet, wat geniet ik weer van je prachtige foto's van mooie interieurs. De stijlvolle gedekte tafel met het kleed tot ver op de grond, de openhaard met prachtige fauteuils rondom, het is allemaal een lust voor het oog.
ReplyDeleteIk wens je een heel fijn weekend.
Lieve groet, Mea
These spaces are so warm and inviting! I want to sit in every single spot! What I like is, that they are stunning, but you feel you can spill something or let the kids play...a dent doesn't ruin your day! How can you go wrong when you bring nature inside...yum
ReplyDeleteI have his book on my Christmas wish list :)
Best,
Michelle
