The Essence & Key Characteristics of Belgian Design

Key characteristics include:

  • Natural Materials: A commitment to using raw and unfinished wood, stone, rattan, and breathable fabrics such as flax linens contributes to a warm and inviting atmosphere. 

  • Earthy Colour Palette: The Belgian colour scheme features creamy whites, soft greys, rich tans, and muted greens to create a serene backdrop.

  • Streamlined Aesthetic: Belgian interiors emphasize simplicity, where each piece serves a purpose without overwhelming the space. This creates a sense of calm and order that is particularly appealing in today’s fast-paced world.

  • The Juxtaposition of Old and New: One of the most striking aspects of Belgian design is the harmonious mix of contemporary, vintage, and antique pieces. Imagine a sleek modern sculpture paired with a weathered dining table or minimalist chairs alongside rustic ceramics—this thoughtful combination adds character and depth to any room.
