Interior design in the Netherlands and Italy, differences and similarities

Do you dream of a stylish interior with international allure? Then it is interesting to look at how interior design in the Netherlands and Italy compare. At Myrna Interior we have a passion for combining styles, cultures and functionality and that makes this comparison extra inspiring. Especially now that we are taking the first steps to become active in Italy!

The Dutch interior style

In the Netherlands, interior design is mainly about functionality, light and minimalism. Think of open spaces, smart storage solutions and a neutral color palette. The influence of Scandinavian design is noticeable, with natural materials such as wood and linen. A typical Dutch interior feels calm, is uncluttered and focused on comfort.

The Italian interior style

Italy, on the other hand, is known for its elegance, expression and luxury. Here you see more warm colors, rich textures and a mix of modern design classics with historical elements. Interior design in Italy tells a story: from marble floors to ornate chandeliers and world-class designer furniture. Aesthetics are at least as important as functionality.

Similarities that connect

Yet there are also striking similarities between both styles:

Eye for detail: Both Dutch and Italian designers pay a lot of attention to finishing and harmony in the whole.
Sustainability: Reuse of materials, quality and timelessness are growing trends in both countries.
Personality: In both cultures you see that interior design is increasingly a reflection of the person who lives there.
