Everything you want to know before we get started.

I translate your wishes into a complete spatial plan: layout, custom-made pieces, furniture, lighting, colors, materials and styling. From the first moodboard to the last accessory, with 3D visuals so you can see in advance how it will turn out.

As an experienced interior designer, I look beyond the individual steps you may have already thought of yourself: I bring your wishes, your home and every element together into one concrete design. On top of that, you benefit from my network, purchasing advantages and guidance during the renovation.

With me, you don't get a standard solution but a personal, eclectic approach with an eye for detail. Clients especially value my creativity and the ease with which I translate their wishes into an interior that makes them happy every day.

Yes, several clients share their experience on my website: how well they were listened to, the creative solutions, and the end result they still enjoy every day.

You can hire me for a single room or for an entire house, whether it's new construction or the renovation of an existing home.

From compact city apartments to entire homes, villas and penthouses — both single rooms and full houses. Take a look at the projects to get a good sense of the style and scale.

Certainly — on the projects page of my website you'll find recent projects, from apartments in Rotterdam and Amsterdam to a villa in Bergen.

We agree on a fixed price for the concept phase up front. The elaboration is billed hourly, with an estimate of the hours and check-in moments agreed in advance. Transparent, with no surprises afterwards.

The price only covers my services; furniture and materials are separate. However, I can often buy at a discount from many shops and brands, which benefits you.

No, I don't work with one. Whether it's a single room or an entire house, I'm happy to think along within your budget.

Yes, definitely. I have arrangements with various suppliers that let me buy at better prices than if you ordered directly yourself.

That depends a lot on your specific question. Feel free to get in touch, no obligation, and we'll discuss the options and costs.

Yes, the initial introductory conversation or intake is always free. It's a chance for both of us to see if there's a good match.

In five steps: an in-home intake, a concept with moodboards and layout plans, the design with 3D visuals, the realization with my network of craftspeople, and finally the furnishing and styling. Take a look at the process for more details.

That depends on the scope. A single room can be finished within a few weeks; a whole home with custom work and renovation can easily take several months. I'll give you a realistic timeline during the intake.

Yes. Some clients just want a concept, or color and material advice, while others want to be guided through the entire process right up to the styling. We tailor my role to what you need.

Yes, I work with moodboards and 3D visuals, so you can really see and feel what your space will become well before the work starts.

After each phase I present that part of the design and you give feedback. We agree in advance how many revision rounds are included in the price, so it's clear for both of us.

Yes, I work with a fixed network of craftspeople, furniture makers and suppliers. You can have me guide the execution completely, or just take the design and carry it out yourself.

Yes, after the no-obligation introductory conversation, also known as the intake, you'll receive a tailored quote based on your wishes and requirements. You'll get this along with a project brief, as an initial summary, and the general terms and conditions.

We exchange ideas often throughout the project, and there are several presentation moments built in. We also agree on the number of revisions in advance. My goal is always that you're happy with the design and how it's turning out.

That depends on the scale of the renovation, and whether you'll keep living at home or move out temporarily. I can take care of a lot of the coordination and stay in contact with the contractor. Everything can be arranged in consultation.

It can always cause delays. That's why it's important that we allow enough time for the whole process. Every phase takes its own time, and with orders we need to account for lead times. Large furniture pieces, kitchens and other custom-made items can often have lead times of 8 to 12 weeks.

Warm and distinctive: rich colors, beautiful materials, and old furniture alongside new finds. No showroom style, but an interior that's unmistakably yours.

I work with a mix of styles, and your own taste definitely plays a role in that. The only condition: don't be afraid of color.

Yes, by now I've designed all kinds of spaces: bathrooms, kitchens, living and bedrooms, children's rooms, but also commercial spaces such as a pedicure salon. Both private homes and business premises are possible.

I mainly work on homes, but I've also done commercial projects and I'm certainly open to more of them.

I work from Amsterdam and Málaga. Previous projects include Rotterdam, Amsterdam, Bergen, De Meern, Maassluis and Spain. Further afield is negotiable.

Both are possible. My preference is an on-site visit, but online interior advice and individual consultations work just as well.

My working area is mainly the Randstad in the Netherlands, as well as the Málaga region in southern Spain. Online advice is definitely an option. Get in touch with me if you'd like to know more.

Absolutely. If you have beautiful pieces with a story, or simply (fairly) new ones, I'm happy to incorporate them into the design, though sometimes we do have to say goodbye to something that no longer fits.

I like working with local partners and think vintage finds make a lovely addition. If you have specific sustainability wishes, I'm happy to give them extra attention.

Through the contact form, via WhatsApp, or just an email to martijn@maeninteriors.com. The consultation is free and no-obligation.

A floor plan is handy to have in advance; I take the photos myself, though it's welcome if you send some beforehand. A moodboard on Pinterest is also very welcome.

I can often schedule a first appointment on short notice. If I happen to be busier, I'll simply let you know.
