About Me

When I decided to start Home Expert in 2011, my main mission was to bring more happiness to our homes and lives. Little has changed ever after. I strongly believe in the power of happiness brought to us through a beautiful and personal home, inspiring travels and a healthy lifestyle with plants and the surrounding nature. With Home Expert I aim to raise the awareness for the space we live in - a home is not a simple space it is our personal haven, a visual identity of ourselves, and a shelter to nourish our happiness.

With a strong passion for interior design, home décor, travels and plants, I want to share my happiness with my readers here in my digital home, the Home Expert. This blog focuses on interior design and decoration ideas for happy homes, it showcases the beauty of our world and the inspiration brought back home through travels, and it highlights to beauty and beneficial power of houseplants. The love for houseplants resulted in a second project called 'Urban Jungle Bloggers' which I started with my friend and fellow plant lover Judith de Graaff in 2013.

Home Expert is an international blog about interior design, styling, decoration, travels and plants that has gained high appraisal and was awarded 'Best International Blog' in 2014. I have worked with several brands and have contributed to an interior book. And the mission remains the same: Home Expert is the place to share happiness through interiors, travels and plants.
