Today I like to share with you a few images of the interior design of 4 Belgian houses I have always loved.
House # 1 Guest house ‘t Wit Huys Bruges
Katrien, interior designer and owner of this house has decorated this 19th century former hunting lodge into a fabulous guest house. Katrien committed all her talent, choosing to respect all the existing volumes and materials of this historical house.

House # 2 Home of Belgian interior designer Ariane von Rothkirch
The charming home of the Belgian interior designer Ariane von Rothkirch.
I just love this house because of its cozy corners!
“We live in a cold, rainy country. So we need a very personal and cozy home.” ,says Ariane.

All beautiful interiors, but your sister's is my favorite. Perfection!
ReplyDeleteAll best,
Phyllis
I agree with Phyllis - your sister's house is wonderful! I have already sent one of the pictures to my shutter person, to see whether we can do interior shutters like the folding shutters on your sister's French doors. It might be the perfect solution for our inswing windows, in a space where curtains really would not work!
ReplyDeleteThank you for this wonderful post - I love the Belgian style, and am always so happy to see a new post by you!
- Holly
P.S.- I was struck by the thickness of the walls in so many of these homes, as seen in the window openings. Beautiful!
ReplyDeletei so love ariane's cozy charming home and your sister's gorgeous house. the oak railings are so elegant and exactly what i would like to add to our home! thanks, greet for these peeks.

There is no question in my mind…hand's down it's your sister's house that is my favorite! While they are all beautiful…and I certainly am dying to get to Belgium and attend some of the antique fairs….your sister's house is a dream! So glad I got to see this! Thanks for posting it!
ReplyDeleteThese rooms are so warm and inviting. I'm a Texan and am always drawn to the warm colors. Lots to absorb and think about. We're selling our house in Holland and buying an apartment in Domburg so I'm looking for ideas. Thank you. xo Jenny
ReplyDeleteBeautiful interiors, Greet! I absolutely love them all!
ReplyDeleteAll such beautiful, warm and homely interiors! I love the rustic elements in all of them - the wooden floors and furniture, the shutters, the simple - yet beautiful - flooring. A well thought out palette in all of them. Your sister's home is particularly beautiful - the first image is sublime!
ReplyDeleteBest wishes,

Greet, I love everything about this post. I could live in a house like this forever. The soft grays, the almost bare walls....it is PERFECT! Anita
ReplyDeletePillows laying on the sofa are perfectly designed and looking awesome. Perfect for a perfect house.

ReplyDeleteAs always, just gorgeous interiors! I am in love with the room with the orange tablecloth.
Happy Thursday.

Hi Greet,
ReplyDeleteLoved so many of the images in your post today - 3rd home's hallway and bedroom, all the cozy corners in the 2nd house, stairway in the 1st house, and your sister's armchair and foot stool and bedroom. These were my favorites, but all were inspiring.
Greet, do you have any idea why Wonen Landelijke Stijl is not available in US? They would do so well here or at least on Zinio's internet access. People like myself would be happy to subscribe either way. I subscribe to MTC and would Wonen Landelijke Stijl if it were available. Just expressing my frustrations! Thanks to you for sharing with us.
XO,

Hi Greet,

The designs looks pretty. The color combination, things which enhances your home are really gorgeous. The only thing looks somewhat shabby is the white color door at the corridor. I think it needs new paint.

It looks like a classic! Just the way I like it. I think classics are just the best kind of design, not only for homes but for cars, clothing, etc. I think they have something that we just don't in modern design. Thanks for the share!

ReplyDeleteIt's nice post on Interior Design, and I would like to say here that interior design Calgary in the Condo interior design is the most fascinating idea of the recent times, where you will find a number of designers and architects who are creating new and imperishable ideas for designing condos for different usage purposes.
ReplyDeleteThe current trend is towards sustainable living and it is not very surprising to find that Interior Design Calgary is currently looking at a wide array of friendly flooring options that can serve as a great choice for people who are preparing to give a different look to their house and their office.
