inspiring, classy, timeless - Pouf! Magazine

Do you consider your home finished or
are you constantly rearranging things
and coming up with new ideas?
My home will probably never be finished.
I really enjoy changing things around and
trying out new ideas.
Do you collect anything?
Oh yes! Many things! But I’m not a ”typical”
collector that searches high and low
for stuff.
Some of the things I’m always on the
lookout for are: faux bamboo, large semiprecious
stones, anything vintage Fornasetti,
pineapples, taxidermy. The list could
go on...
Last but not least: Your most important
rule when it comes to decorating?
It’s such a cliché, but the most important
thing is that you are happy and comfortable
in your own home. Don’t bother with
what’s trendy or what your friends might
think. A home is all about the people who
live in it.
“My home will probably never
be finished.”
Top tips for fixing up your rental
PAINT OR WALLPAPER. Make sure to check with your landlord
beforehand. Sometimes they might even do the job for
you, or offer to pay the paint if you do the job yourself.
PUT STICKERS ON TILES THAT YOU DON’T LIKE. You can
get them in most hardware stores. Usually they measure
15x15cm which is pretty much the standard in rental apartments.
IF YOU DON’T LIKE THE FLOORS, COVER THEM WITH
LARGE RUGS. Or check with your landlord if they might consider
putting in a new floor for you.
PAINT THE KITCHEN CABINETS.
CHANGE DOOR KNOBS, HANDLES ETC on cupboards and
doors. Just make sure you save the old ones for when you
move out.
ALWAYS ASK THE LESSOR BEFORE MAKING ANY PERMA-
NENT CHANGES OR YOU MIGHT END UP HAVING TO PAY
FOR PUTTING THINGS BACK AS THEY WERE.
