Products and Techniques

Where possible we use recycled, environmentally friendly materials and innovative techniques. Good design should not only be attractive and practical; it must also respect the earth – and the people who live on it.

Because it is important to us to work sustainably, we like to use products of Dutch origin.

Paint from Level

It is indispensable for us to use a chalk paint that we can work with wonderfully, of the highest quality and available in countless colors. Niveau paint meets all our requirements and is mixed in Maasberg, the Netherlands. We not only use the chalk paint from this fantastic company, but also the varnish, brushes, environmentally friendly cleaning products and almost all other products that we need to bring our creations to life.

Decoupage

Découpage comes from the French word 'decouper', which means to cut or cut. The decoupage we use is printed on special paper and, as if glued to a piece of furniture. After the paper has been glued, we also give it a special finish so that the furniture is actually usable!

We use this technique on some of our furniture and gift items to create unique and often colorful furniture. We can spend hours picking out decoupage papers. We like to work with animals, landscapes and buildings, but the options are endless and we enjoy using them.

We almost never use decoupage on its own, it is often part of various techniques that we apply to furniture.

Transfers

There is a choice of different brands for furniture transfers. The brands we make the most use of are ReDesign with Prima, Hokus Pokus and IOD. Sometimes people see a transfer as the final piece of the puzzle to give a piece of furniture a new look. We work just the other way around! For us, the transfer is the beginning. From this we take our inspiration, colors, and feeling that we want to convey with the furniture. Transfers are well finished just like decoupage paper. We use the super products from Niveau for this.

Furniture ornaments

We often like to use furniture ornaments on our furniture and home decoration. These can be made from different medium and which medium we choose differs per item. Ornaments are glued to the furniture or article and of course also painted. Just like with decoupage and transfers, it becomes a whole and well finished.
