You’re living in a lovely home or you’re moving to an even more beautiful one. You want to furnish and style it in a way that feels just right for you. You have inspiration and ideas about what you’d like, but turning those into a cohesive and harmonious interior can be challenging and time-consuming. Interior design isn’t about trends, it’s a personal expression of how you want to live.
Are you looking for personalized interior advice at home in Nieuwegein? I’d be happy to guide you in making the right choices.
In addition to my years of experience in interior design, my personal experience includes helping my husband and daughter-in-law settle into life in the Netherlands after moving from Italy and Venezuela. I witnessed firsthand the challenges and joys of building a new life abroad. In raising our children, we blended different cultural influences, always choosing the best of both worlds. So I can really empathize with your situation. In the last few years, I’ve helped several expats design their homes and they’ve all been really happy with the results.
Interior design has been my passion for as long as I can remember. With a background in international business and a creative heart, education ánd experience I feel incredibly lucky to do what I love every day, and it never feels like work! At my core, I’m a people person: I love working closely with clients, making sure they feel seen, heard, and fully supported.
Actually, a client can express this even better:
"I found a true professional designer in Birgit. She not only listened to my ideas and wishes, but also understood the personal process I was going through. With great precision, she translated her ‘interviews’ with me and her observations of my home into a beautiful interior plan, which has since become my personal guide. I can now follow her vision almost blindly (at my own pace), and everything turns out beautifully, just as intended.
Even now, as I’m in the middle of a renovation and typing this with paint on my hands, she’s still available via Whattsapp to offer advice. She also designed a custom cabinet and a room divider with a fireplace, which she had built by her furniture maker.
In Birgit Di Maio, I found someone with real expertise, a clear overview of what’s possible, and -just as important- a warm personality that made it easy for me to take my own steps. I wholeheartedly and confidently recommend her."
