Inside a cubist villa in The Hague
The interior designers at Byron & Jones like to think with you about the ideal home. Whether it's a single roll of wallpaper, some pretty cushions or a total furnishing including a stocked bookcase. "We dissect every living wish," says Byron & Jones.
Ibiza, Tel Aviv, southern France: the experts at Byron & Jones on Noordeinde know how to create the perfect interior with designer furniture and upholstery from top brands everywhere. "We are ahead of the trends," assures owner Lars Temmink. "And we always look for the balance between surprise and recognition, a beautiful game." It has earned the home furnishers trust from a large customer base.
Cubist villa
In a cubist villa in Ypenburg's Park Boswijk, interior designers Inge den Exter and Ellen Steentjes were practically given carte blanche, resulting in a stunning gesamtkunstwerk. "Ten years ago, I already had the opportunity to completely furnish this house once, now the resident thought it was time for a restyling," explains the tidy professional. "He had been inspired when he visited our showroom again after the renovation last year."
For the Frankly Amsterdam rug, Byron & Jones composed the colour combination of the poles themselves.
Although the floor plan was still firmly in her mind, Inge made a home visit to subject the 'routing' to today's scrutiny. "The layout was good, but we decided to turn one of the two sitting areas in the living room into a large dining area. And the doors to and from the hall had to become transparent to emphasise the line of sight," she outlines.
The grain in the marble and leather of the Poliform barstools subtly harmonise in colour.
In the drinks corner, the soft materials and organic shapes of the Gubi armchairs contrast with the clean lines of Trizo21's floor lamp.

The Byron & Jones team does not pretend to have its own signature; the atmosphere the client wants is always the starting point. Lars: "Of course people fall for the clean, modern lines, the good materials and the design in our showroom. But when people have their own ideas, we come up with the rest. We dissect the customer's wishes, so to speak."
'We don't want to be an authority, we keep sparring'
In this case, a tour of the extensive collection of furniture, fabrics and wallpaper provided valuable leads. "The occupant of the Ypenburg villa fell in love with a wallpaper by Elitis.
Red thread
We took its shapes and colours as the basis for the rest of the interior design. And the wallpaper itself also appears as a common thread in the interior," says Inge. "We don't want to be an authority, we keep sparring."
Catellani & Smith's lamp above Poliform's marble dining table gives the dining area a stately look.
A first is Poliform's caramel-coloured modular sofa in the lounge area near the kitchen. "We saw that one at the Milan fair two years ago and now it is finally available," she says excitedly. "The organic shape is really a new step, exciting after a long time when angular sofas dominated." Frankly Amsterdam's distinguished, powder beige rug matches it seamlessly.
'The combination of sharper and softer elements creates movement'
A feminine touch should not be missing in a fine home, according to Inge. That is why she paid attention to round shapes, soft colours and cuddly materials. "The combination of sharper and softer elements creates movement in the interior," she says.

This is evident in the 'small' dining area, finished in soft pink with the rounded, velvet Beetle chairs by Danish Gubi around a refined table by Poliform.
B&C's custom-made blinds and Carlucci's soft beige net curtains with graphic pattern give the 'small' dining area an intimate feel.
The villa consists of different worlds: at times intimate with soft pink, then more monumental with moss-green chairs around a marble dining table. Yet the spaces are subtly connected. Inge: "The walnut accents in one table top, for instance, are echoed in the marble of the bar and the leather of the bar stools. And the bronze of the pivot doors returns in the coffee table. So it remains a unity."
Flexform's corner sofa emphasises the shape of the living room, the round Meridiani coffee table with bronze base and taupe-coloured top balances the angularity.
Pink is the new black
All in all, this interior can stand the test of time again. "We furnish in such a way that customers only later see their choices reflected in the magazines," states Lars. Then laughing: "So black, steel doors we don't do anymore. When we were already working with pink on the walls, we were one of the first. Only later did you read everywhere: pink is the new black. That way, customers always feel they are on top of the zeitgeist."
