Hanne from Hanne by design sitting in a living room with a calming Japandi style

Growing up in the countryside of Belgium, the art of living was very present. Feeling connected to its rich history and practices, from skilled craftsmanship to beautiful architecture, timeless interiors, fine cuisine, and the selection of materials, I found myself drawn to interior design for as long as I can remember. Having lived on two continents, along with long-term travels abroad, nurtured my passion and knowledge in aesthetics. Influenced by the beauty of the Pacific Northwest and European refinement, I design and curate consciously, utilizing inviting neutrals with natural materials that cultivate a sense of a welcoming and grounded feeling.
