We are taking a look at the beautiful interior of Maaike van Houten, known for her popular TikTok account @maaikevhouten, and her girlfriend Laura. Our Room108 & Gusj Market Eindhoven stylist styled the entire living room in a cool hotel chic atmosphere.

STYLING BY A STYLIST

We are in the cool apartment of Maaike and Laura at Strijp-S, where we are being welcomed enthusiastically. The Room108 furniture has already been delivered, amongst other things corner sofa Cloë, dining room chairs Kenny, loveseat Adèle and oval dining table Big are showing off in the living room. Our stylist Jaantje is taking care of the styling today using beautiful items from our point of sale in Eindhoven and she will completely transform the apartment, together with her colleague Frank. “I am so curious and find it really exciting to find out what it will look like once it's finished. What a lot of stuff they brought with them!” Maaike says laughing. All items and furniture match very well and completely fit in with the cool hotel chic atmosphere of the interior.

INTERIOR ADVICE AND 3D VISUALIZATIONS

Maaike and Laura received help from Jaantje with the furnishing of their apartment throughout the entire process. “We chose the sofa ourselves, but the combinations and furniture were advised by Jaantje. We are very happy with this, because it certainly wouldn't have turned out this beautiful otherwise!”, Maaike and Laura say together. “Our two completely different styles have been merged into one and that worked out really well. Laura is into hotel chic with gold and velvet, Maaike likes a more tough and rural interior with wood, for example. Now both are reflected and it's even more beautiful than expected”.

Stylist Jaantje tells us about the choices she made in her interior advice and styling: “The sofa had already been chosen by Maaike and Laura themselves, it fits perfectly with what they were looking for. During our conversation about the further styling and furnishing of the apartment, they showed me some examples of the atmosphere they were aiming for. We opted for a warm look. Maaike and Laura wanted a spacious U-shaped corner sofa, this fits well in the living room and there is enough space left. Because sofa Cloë has high legs it creates a spacious effect. The carpet is nice and big, which connects the sitting area furniture with each other and also improves the acoustics. For contrast, I recommended a lighter carpet to go with the dark sofa and furniture. Because the space with the dining table is a bit more narrow and they wanted a nice cupboard in there as well, we went for an oval table. This makes the overall picture a bit softer and more spacious and it also allows more people to sit around the dining table. The wall behind the cabinets is covered with a cool design wallpaper from Arte to add more depth. There is also a beautiful subtle wallpaper from Arte on the wall behind the TV, which blends nicely into the color of the other walls. A nice extra little corner in the house has been created with the Adèle armchair. Here you can enjoy the cool view with a nice cup of coffee for example. By using different materials and shades of color, the space gets an atmospheric yet tough look with a hotel chic touch!”

CORNER SOFA CLOE IN THE SPOTLIGHT

“The sofa is the only thing we chose ourselves without any advice. We saw it in the showroom and immediately knew this had to be it!” Maaike says. “We wanted a nice and large sofa that is cozy and comfortable. Sofa Cloë has all of this and we are very happy that we went for this green color”. At Maaike and Laura's home corner sofa Cloë features in Challenger Forest 162 and we completely understand that choice. The sofa really is the showpiece of the living room! “After moving here in November, the apartment is now completely finished. The styling by Room108 & Gusj Market Eindhoven was the last thing we had planned. The Room108 bar stools were delivered today as well, they are also very cool and super comfortable. Now it's time to enjoy this nice little spot on Strijp-S.”
