Flutters of authentic details
Theo-Bert offers a lot of personal advice as an interior stylist. But what does he do himself? Art Heroes was allowed a peek inside his home. "I live with my partner Jelle in the Hague," he starts by telling us. "Our house is from the early 1900s and has lots of authentic details, like a high ceiling, ornamentation, fireplaces and ensuite doors that we just completely fell in love with. My favourite spot in the house is the conservatory, whether it's winter or summer, that's always a fantastic place to be."
Colour is cosy
The first thing Theo-Bert did to the house was add colour. "Yep, I'm a colour fan," he adds happily. "All the authentic details mean the house already exudes a vibe of its own. When you're able to add depth and cosiness with colour, that's really something!" The stylist admits that he always keeps his eyes open. "I love getting inspiration from friends, museums or city breaks to places like Paris and Copenhagen. I also have lots of books and I subscribe to just about every magazine out there, haha."
A balanced collection
Just feast your eyes on this interior. "Our interior design style is a combination of classic, colourful, French, a touch of Scandinavian and, most importantly, it's bold! I like mixing lots of colours, materials and patterns. Being able to keep surprising yourself in an interior is the best part. What's more, I'm a proper collector. There's a reason I'm called "The Nice Stuff Collector", he laughs. "Sometimes, something just has to go, otherwise you can't give your full attention to the items that are there. That's how we keep the house in balance."
Big and graphic
Theo-Bert went for a graphic artwork. "As well as being a stylist, I'm also a graphic designer. I think the piece "Minimal art - dance" by YOPIE illustrations is gorgeous. It's simple and beautifully graphic, but its enormous size of over a metre wide creates a dramatic effect. I had the artwork printed on Dibond and I went for a matte finish. The result goes perfectly with the colours in our house."
