Vintage furniture and palette of richly toned materials bring a sense of warmth and personality to this renovated maisonette in Amsterdam, which interiors firm Studio Elèn Letort designed to reference the Dutch Golden Age. The house on the Dutch city's historic Herenmarkt was designed for a couple who wanted a home where they could showcase their collection of art, design objects and personal items collected on their travels. Studio Elèn Letort renovated a maisonette in Amsterdam The apartment spans three floors of a 17th-century former merchant's house and Studio Elèn Letort took inspiration from the building's past when designing an interior that reflects the owners' tastes. "What made the collaboration special was that they were not looking for a standard Amsterdam home," Studio Elèn Letort founder Elèn Letort told Dezeen. "They wanted a place that felt distinctly their own: expressive and characterful, yet calm, refined and easy to live in." The kitchen combined walnut cabinetry and steel worktops The property was in generally good condition so the project focused on aesthetic and spatial improvements, including the reorganisation of the upper floor to create a clearer separation between the main bedroom and bathroom. Throughout the home, Letort opted for a palette of rich wood tones, natural materials and subtle accents of colour that bring warmth, depth and tactility to the understated spaces.
