« My big mission when I started Atelier Bejee was that I wish everyone to live in a beautiful interior. Sometimes "the feeling" just isn't there, so let's find that feeling together. Your home is where you spend so much time, that's why it really deserves the attention. » - B.H.
Interview with Bianca Hommes - the founder of the Dutch design and decoration bureau Atelier Bejee.
iPremium DD: Do you have any preferences for interior colors?

B.H.: I do prefer earth tones. Beige, brown, black, earth, terracotta and all shades of white.
iPremium DD: What is the concept of your atelier?

B.H.: The concept is that I offer interior design consultations and these are packages where clients can also get a 2d, 3d drawing to make their interior dreams come to life. In addition, I work Internationally, where clients are additionally given a shopping list to make everything a reality. Furthermore, I am an artist and love to add art in an interior. With over 100K followers on Instagram, I intentionally partner with certain brands. This is because my clients and followers are very interested in the style I share.

iPremium DD: Where do you get inspiration?

B.H.: I get my inspiration from books, travel, beautiful art galleries and from nature. Furthermore, of course, from the Internet.

Atelier Bejee’s work is based on finding beauty in minimalism and is influenced by nature with natural shapes.

iPremium DD: Do you have a certain pool of questions that you ask the client in order to identify their needs?

B.H.: Yes, I work with a fine questionnaire and an intake in which we go through all the requirements together. For me it is especially important that a dream comes to life, which starts with asking the right questions.

Atelier Bejee interior design is not just about creating a space, but realising our client’s vision.
iPremium DD: Is art in the interior a must? Do you have your favorite artists?

B.H.: Art makes an interior personal and also adds character to a space. I like making art myself and love minimalist art by a number of artists. For example: Studio Astrid, Ans de Kruyf, etc.
iPremium DD: Do you have a favorite product (furniture) designers?

B.H.: I definitely have a few brands that I get very nice items from, Bolia, Audo Copenhagen, Ferm Living, Tine K Home etc.
