ABOUT
Telling a story
My name is Jet, a typical Dutch name which is short for Henriëtte. I was trained as an actress and director and perhaps that is why my designs always have a hint of the dramatic. I like to tell a story, to create an immersive experience with my designs.
I need to be creative and I love to spend my life thinking about re-arranging furniture, decorating, gardening, buying art, refurbishing, entertaining and antique sourcing. It never feels like a job!
An interior should be calming, serene and beautiful, but always in a relaxed way. Casual elegance you could call the Couvaloup style. The best kind of rooms are the ones that make you want to come in, sit down and stay for a while.
The way we work
At Couvaloup we believe that a house should be a haven, a place to feel at ease and relax instantly. Beauty and function is to be found in all items that surround you. Slow living, time to appreciate the small things, to feel the soul of the items which you use daily. This is a way to give meaning to the everyday tasks of everyday life.
A room should be as comfortable as it is beautiful, which is why we begin each project by thinking about how the space is going to be used. We work with our clients to create personal, welcoming interiors that go beyond current trends.
We can work with you in three different ways:
1. Studio Sessions:
On Mondays hour long consultancy sessions can be booked at the Couvaloup store. Bring ideas, plans and questions and Jet will provide practical, on the spot advice. These are fun & intensive sessions that will help you with your project. Please contact us for available dates
€195,- per hour
2. Interior Advice on Location
This package consist of two sessions that will accelerate your project. A first visit to the location, to get an impression of the space, where plans & ideas are talked through. The second session is at the store, a moodboard is presented and options for color, material and style are discussed. Please contact us for available dates.
€495,-
Optional: 3D drawing €995,-
3. Interior Design
Full service interior design (and exterior/garden design if wanted) by Jet and her team. We take on both commercial projects and property development, as well as private homes. We’ll work with you from the initial briefing and design concept through to implementation and installation, ensuring that deadlines are met and budgets adhered to.
If you’d like to find out more about our services please do contact us via info@couvaloup.com
We’d be happy to discuss your project with you and answer any questions you may have.
