5 COLOR AND STYLING TIPS FROM ISA COVER
Isa Hoes loves interior design and styling. She likes to take matters into her own hands and is certainly not afraid of colour. Daughter Vlinder thought it could be a bit less and so they went for white, contrary to Isa. Of course, they both quickly got tired of that, so they tackled it completely differently. How did she do that? Discover all of Isa Hoes' colour and styling tips below.
1. ASK FOR PROFESSIONAL COLOR ADVICE
'I was used to making all the decisions about my house myself. Asking for professional advice was not for me. I just couldn't decide on the colours for the walls. So I got colour advice anyway. It was the best move I could have made. I would never have come up with the suggested palette myself, but it turned out to be spot on.'

2. COMBINE COLOR AND BASIC
'My lovely kitchen was designed by Eginstill as the eye-catcher of the open living floor. The base cabinets are pink, the veined top of natural stone has green tones. It was an eye-opener that I should not look for the wall color in the kitchen itself. Although I had to see it to believe that Amaze no. 535 , a shade that seemed a bit boring to me in advance, would be perfect.'
3. ART IS ALWAYS A GOOD IDEA
'Art and flowers are two things that I like to add extra colour to my home with. The great thing is that you can always alternate. That's why I also go to the Beeldend Gesproken art library, so that I can regularly hang up different works of art.'
4. GO FOR SUSTAINABLE
'Sustainability is definitely important to me. It was a reason to downsize, and also to choose a water-based paint, which is made here in the Netherlands. By choosing LAB paint, I also support their drinking water project in Bangladesh. A real added value for me.'
LAB wall paint and LAB interior paint Amaze no. 535 (wall near window), reference colours LAB cementum (concrete look) Jewel no. 66 (wall and cupboard around the fireplace) and LAB interior paint White Ice no. 39 (frame).
5. TAKE YOUR FURNITURE INTO CONSIDERATION
'I underestimated the impact of an existing piece of furniture like a couch on the color experience of my living room. Although my white-gray couch was brand new, I replaced it with one in a warmer shade on advice. You should see the before and after photos, it made such a difference!'
