SEE THIS HOUSE: THE LIGHT IS JUST RIGHT IN A SUBLIME NETHERLANDS HOME!

This is the Netherlands home, showroom and studio of lighting guru and designer Ron van Empel of Empel Collections. A wonderful live/work space!

Came across these images because friend CB forwarded me a bunch of pictures Ron had emailed her. Ron is great friends with CB’s godmother and I guess sends CB emails from time to time. This time CB and I were talking on the phone and she began raving about how “gorgeous” Ron’s Leiden home is. I was immediately interested in seeing the gorgeous photos…so Charlotte sent them over…that’s when I began drooling. I drooled even more when Ron sent me another email with more photos from his home and some of his new lighting. Eureka! A post! (Meanwhile…I know…very long explanation to really say somehow I got the photos…sorry…)

I love this home that Ron uses as a place of residence, a design studio and a showroom for all of his lighting (table lamps, chandeliers, sconces, wall lamps, pendant lights). From a design perspective, these interiors are so very well decorated but also very accessible – meaning they are pretty and livable at the same time.

Thank you Ron for sharing!

A blanket of winter white snow covers the front garden of this live work space in the Netherlands. Double carved front doors painted a cool glossy grey, manicured hedges in symmetrical planters and wonderful iron work over the door’s sidelights make for a grand entrance. (above)

More snow surrounds the pool in the backyard. The house color is a light taupe with black shutters, french doors with black trim and some white door and window frames. (above)

    Don’t you just love designs from the Netherlands. They have a special way with color that is hard to duplicate.

    That blue color above the mantel with the coral is amazing. I want to go use them in a painting right now!

    Beautiful, I am in love with it all, the zebra rug, the lights, those front doors (!), the natural light. What a great space and a great way to display and enjoy all his wonderful things. Thank you so much for sharing.

    Love the symmetry of the entrance, and I just adore that red toile. With the coral chairs, the effect is, to use the Dutch word, uitstekend!

    What a fabulous home!
    I would love to duplicate that look by my fireplace, but I would have a heart-attack when my husband would come home from wiring in some crawl space and want to relax by the fire.

    What beautiful designing done in this home.

    Very classic and elegant look it has.
    So designing is very important for outer appearance
