Today we have a little peek inside the home of two creative designers living in Amsterdam...

Name: Neeza and Pierre
Location: Helmersbuurt; Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Size: 1,400 square feet
Years lived in: 2 years; Owned

Neeza is from Malaysia, and Pierre hails from France — two wildly different backgrounds that tastefully meet halfway to create this unique space. Splashes of color to balance out the white floor and walls, placement of beautiful furniture, and special handcrafted accents are just a part of the unique beauty of this home. 

Maybe boring gray and black just isn't your deal. You want to add a little color to your life, even your computer. Or maybe you just want a way to protect the part of your expensive laptop that gets touched the most. Either way, check out this project to customize and protect the trackpad in style. More

Have you seen the inspiring structure that dutch architect Winy Maas has created for the town square in the center of Schijndel, a small town in the Netherlands? The glass facade of the mixed-use retail and office building presents an image of a traditional dutch farmhouse, printed using fritting technology, which allows huge amounts of natural light to flood the space.

A perfect marriage of color, materials and shapely style is apparent in the lighting designs from the two young designers pictured above, Wendy and Maarten. They are based in Rotterdam, The Netherlands, and have been working together since their graduation from the Design Academy in Eindhoven.

Friday Next is in a great location for visitors to Amsterdam, just a few blocks from the Vondelpark; a short stroll from the Museumplein. It's absolutely worth a stop for design lovers, it gives you a good overview of a certain cozy home style AND you can have a tasty lunch while you are at it - they have a small cafe as well. More

This is how it begins. Simple shapes, natural materials. Combine with a skilled craftsperson and the end result is a modern classic that, even in today's super speedy fast-forward world, involves more than 100 manual operations to create...

If you know Amsterdam at all, you most likely are familiar with the Damrak. It's one of the major thoroughfares, leading you from Central Station right into the heart of the city. For years the section close to the station has been touristy and not super fashionable, but that all changed this year with the opening of The Exchange, an unusual boutique hotel with an eye on the worlds of fashion and design.
