We get a glimpse into the hotel chic home of Carolien and John in Ammerzoden. This home really has the Room108 factor!

Take a look inside the warm, luxurious and personal home of Carolien and John

STEP 1: THE INTERIOR

Carolien and John have exchanged the city for the peace and coziness of a village. They have been living in their new home for 3 months, which used to be a notary's office. How did they transform it into an atmospheric home of their own? Carolien is happy to tell us about it: "When we first stepped inside, we saw it straight away. After half an hour we had already decided on the entire new layout together. We knew exactly what we wanted to do with the walls and spaces and where the living room would be. We also wanted an ensuite bathroom and the house was perfect for that."

“The next step for us was an exploratory visit to Whoon. We got talking to Kim there and soon we were working on our entire interior. We hadn't even officially received the drawings of the house, so Kim got them from Funda, so we could already pick out the furniture."

FEELING FOR DESIGN & STYLING

Of course, we are very curious about how Carolien and John have thought everything out down to the last detail. Because it is certainly clear that every detail has been considered. Carolien says: “Everything you see, we thought of together. I have an affinity with interior design and styling. In the past, I decorated 5 home furnishing stores and I have also helped friends with the decoration of their homes. I myself made a color plan and our son a lighting plan. I can recommend this to everyone to do during a renovation! John also has a feeling for beautiful finishes, which gives an extra luxurious look.” We can certainly confirm that Carolien and John have a feeling for style. They have really made it into a beautiful whole.

They describe their interior style as modern hotel chic, but just a little bit different. It had to radiate warmth with a 'Van der Valk' feeling. Carolien proudly says: "We think this has been a success. It is almost a shame to go to a hotel, because we already have our own hotel at home."

“We do like change. Every 2 years we choose a new sofa, so by then you will definitely see us back at Whoon. We already have a cool sofa in mind with separate elements. But for now we will continue to enjoy our current furniture, because it all looks great together.”

THE WOW FEELING WITH ROOM108

Carolien and John also tell us how they ended up at Room108: “We had already seen a sofa from Room108 online and through an acquaintance we ended up at Whoon. We came in with the picture of the sofa and we also wanted the same background of the photography of Room108 on our walls. And we recreated this.”

Carolien and John have chosen corner sofa Annabelle upholstered with fabric Alpine and color Beige 05. “The couch is really great,” Carolien continues. “The table in between and the table on the side also look so nice. This makes it complete.” This is what our Heavy Metal Innerbench closed and Heavy Metal Sidetable armrest. Behind the couch against the wall is also the Heavy Metal Side table 140.

“Kim did a great job. She took her time with everything and gave us good advice. Normally we don't really ask for help during a first orientation visit to a store, but we clicked with Kim right away and it didn't feel pushy at all but genuine. We sat at the table for about 4/5 hours and ordered everything.”

Curious if the interior is now completely finished? “We still need some accessories, so we are going shopping at Whoon again this weekend. We will definitely succeed.”
