A warm living room with character and balance

For this living room, Myrna Interior not only designed the layout, but also carefully selected the color palette to create a harmonious, warm and stylish space.

This project revolves around atmosphere, softness and a perfect balance between bold and refined elements. The warm wall color forms a strong backdrop for the large, comfortable corner sofa in cognac leather-look material. Combined with the light rug, wooden coffee table and the characterful sideboard, the result is a living room that immediately invites you to relax.

Warmth through color

The chosen wall color plays a key role in the overall look and feel. The warm, earthy tone adds depth and enhances the furniture, allowing each piece to stand out. At the same time, it creates a calm and cozy atmosphere. This shows how important color is in interior design. A wall is not just a background, but a defining element of the entire space.

A strong combination of materials

What makes this living room truly stand out is the combination of materials. The generous sofa, with its soft and full shapes, adds comfort and warmth. In contrast, the wooden furniture provides a natural and timeless foundation. The light rug softens the overall look and adds texture, while the decorative cushions bring extra character and detail.

This mix creates an interior that feels luxurious without being distant. It is precisely the combination of robust and soft elements that makes this living room feel personal and balanced.

Calm, unity and functionality

A well-designed interior is not only beautiful, but also practical. This living room clearly reflects that principle. The layout of the furniture creates a logical flow, with comfort and usability at its core. The large sofa offers ample seating, while the coffee table and sideboard contribute to both aesthetics and functionality.

Myrna Interior looks at the bigger picture in every project. Not just individual pieces or colors, but how everything works together within the space. This results in an interior where unity is felt and every element has a clear purpose.

The power of a personal interior

This living room shows that a warm and stylish interior is created through the right choices in color, material, shape and layout. By carefully aligning these elements with the space and desired atmosphere, Myrna Interior creates interiors that not only look beautiful, but also feel truly comfortable to live in.

Would you like a living room where atmosphere, comfort and aesthetics come together perfectly? Myrna Interior is happy to help you create an interior that matches your home and personal style.

Statement elements in interior styling: art and textiles that make spaces unforgettable

In the world of interior design and home staging, we’re seeing a clear shift: away from safe, neutral interiors and toward spaces with character. Statement pieces such as large artworks and bold textiles take center stage. They don’t just make an interior visually stronger—they create emotion, recognition, and impact for potential buyers.

What exactly are statement elements?

Statement elements are eye-catchers that immediately draw attention when you enter a room. Think of a large abstract painting, an antique tapestry, an oversized rug, or even a sculptural textile object. In interior styling, this isn’t about “more stuff,” but about carefully chosen focal pieces that tell a story.

  • Large artworks with expressive colors or shapes
  • Antique or handmade tapestries and wall hangings
  • Textiles with rich textures such as wool, linen, or silk
  • Unique vintage or artisanal pieces

Why statement art and textiles are so popular

The popularity of statement elements isn’t happening by chance. People increasingly crave interiors that feel personal and warm. Large art and textiles bring soul and layering into a space—something minimalist interiors often lack.

These elements also align perfectly with trends like maximalism, heritage design, and sustainable living. An antique tapestry or a unique artwork feels timeless and matches the growing preference for quality over quantity.

The power of statement elements in home staging

In home staging, everything revolves around emotion. Buyers often decide within minutes whether a home appeals to them. Statement elements make a home memorable and ensure it stands out among other viewings.

  • They create a strong first impression
  • They give rooms identity and character
  • They help buyers imagine a lifestyle
  • They photograph beautifully for online listings and presentations

A large artwork above the sofa or a striking wall hanging in the dining room can be the difference between “nice” and “special.”

How to use statement art and textiles wisely

The key to statement elements is balance. One powerful piece per room is often enough. Pair it with calm base tones so the statement can truly speak. In home staging, it’s important that the object is appealing but not polarizing.

Prefer warm colors, natural materials, and timeless designs. That way, you increase the chance that multiple target groups will feel attracted.

Conclusion: investing in impact

Statement elements such as art and textiles aren’t a short-term trend. They add depth, emotion, and distinction to interiors. Whether you’re working on a personal interior design or preparing a home for sale: with a strong statement element, you tell a story that lingers. And that’s exactly what makes modern interior styling and home staging so powerful.

A mesmerizing bathroom transformation

Every successful bathroom transformation starts with a dream. In this case, the client came to Myrna Interior with the desire for a stylish, warm and unique bathroom. A place where luxury and playfulness come together, and where functionality and aesthetics go hand in hand.

Step 1: The meeting (your wishes, our inspiration)

During the first meeting, we listened to the client’s wishes and needs. What did this bathroom have to radiate? Which materials and colours appealed to them? It had to be a space where you start the day fresh and energetic in the morning, but can also relax wonderfully in the evening. Natural materials, warm wood tones and playful patterns were important starting points. This quickly led to the idea of ​​combining fresh green tiles, a striking wallpaper and natural elements.

Step 2: The mood board (capturing the atmosphere)

After the first meeting, we put together a mood board. In this, we brought together the colours, textures and materials that would determine the atmosphere of the bathroom. Deep green tones, organic patterns and warm wood colours formed the basis. The mood board helped the client to get a visual representation of the final look and feel of the space.

Step 3: The digital 3D sketch (your bathroom brought to life)

With the help of a digital 3D sketch, we were able to bring the bathroom to life before the first tile was laid. This gave the client the opportunity to view the design in detail and make adjustments where necessary. The asymmetrical mirror with built-in lighting became a real eye-catcher, as did the combination of green herringbone tiles with the playful wallpaper. The natural stone wash basins and the copper taps added a luxurious look. This design felt right straight away!

Step 4: The realisation (from idea to reality)

Once all the details were approved, the real work began. The craftsmen realised the space to perfection. The green herringbone tiles create a dynamic look, while the wooden bathroom furniture brings warmth and tranquility. The wallpaper adds an artistic and cheerful element, giving this bathroom a unique and personal look.

A dream come true

The end result? A bathroom that is not only a feast for the eyes, but also an oasis of peace and comfort. The client was delighted with the result – and so were we! This project proves that with the right vision, creativity and craftsmanship, every space can be transformed into something special.

Color your interior, the magic of color schemes

Are you looking for a way to transform your interior and create a unique atmosphere? Then you’ve come to the right place! At Myrna Interior, we believe that the right color scheme makes all the difference. Today, I’m taking you into the wonderful world of color and showing you how the perfect color combination can brighten up not only your home, but also your mood.

Why is the right color scheme so important?

Color has a huge impact on how you feel in a space. Think of a warm, cozy living room where soft tones radiate calm and comfort. Or an energetic office where bright colors stimulate creativity and productivity. By carefully considering which colors you choose, you can create a space that fits your lifestyle perfectly.

A smart choice of color can also give the illusion of space. Dark shades make a room intimate and cozy, while light colors create a sense of openness and calm. It is therefore essential to think about what atmosphere you want to create. Ask yourself: what is the function of this space and what emotions do you want to evoke in yourself and your guests?

Tips for the perfect color combination

  1. Start with one base color: Choose a main color that forms the basis of your interior. This can be a neutral shade, such as gray, beige or white, or a striking color that reflects your personality. A neutral base gives you the flexibility to play with accent colors.
  2. Add accent colors: Accent colors provide liveliness and contrast. Think of cushions, paintings, rugs or even a striking piece of furniture. Try to choose one or two accent colours that contrast nicely with your base colour, so that the space does not become too busy.
  3. Use the colour wheel: The colour wheel is a useful tool for determining complementary or analogous colours. By choosing colours that are next to each other or opposite each other on the circle, you create a harmonious effect that can be both calm and dynamic.
  4. Consider the incidence of light: The way in which light influences a colour should not be underestimated. Natural light changes the appearance of a colour throughout the day. Therefore, always test with colour samples on different walls and in different lighting conditions first.

Inspiring examples for your interior

Imagine that you choose a warm, earthy base colour in the living room. Combine this with accents in terracotta or deep green. The result? An inviting, natural look that fits perfectly with both a modern and classic interior. Or how about a playful approach in the bedroom, where you combine a calm blue-green base color with cheerful yellow and orange accents? This way you create a space where you can really relax, but that still has an energetic touch.
