Aaf lives in Friesland, Netherlands, together with her husband John, their son Johan, a cat and two dogs in a relatively new house from 1982. Having renovated the house over several years, it’s turned out to be the perfect framework for their family life. Aaf ’s interior design has lots of personality and style. � e rustic French-Nordic country style is consistent down to the smallest detail and Aaf ’s passion for second-hand items shows throughout the house.

Visit Aaf and her family, and let’s show you her ideas on how to implement the style and create a great atmosphere in a new house.

Ideas for the living room� e living room is spacious and bright, and full of personality, soul and charm. � e furnishing colors are neutral and natural materials play an important role. Aaf has used lots of items and furniture made of raw wood, rattan, leather and fur throughout the house. � is adds a great, rustic twist to the interior design.

Use small collections for your arrangements. Copy Aaf ’s idea: place all your bottles in an old box, collect all your old reels or place your old suitcases on a shelf. If you place your things together in this way, you can add many di� erent things to a room without it looking messy. At the same time, the items look much better when they are displayed together.

Aaf and her husband mounted old French shutters on the big living room windows and hereby created a much nicer atmosphere in the living room. � e French-inspired � replace adds to the cozy feel. Many years ago, the couple exposed the beams and added new drywall ceilings between them.
