Casa Feliz – A place where working makes you happy

Personal, tropical, modern. I think our home has a very personal signature with design elements and art that we have consciously chosen. Tropical, because plants are an elementary part of interior design and there is also a lot of Brazilian design and art in our home. And ultimately modern, because we love to combine contemporary elements and mid-century design.

My home office is quite green with lots of plants. For me, plants are not only nice to look at, they also inspire me to work creatively and make me more efficient because they clean the air and thus also increase my ability to concentrate.

Since my living style is part of my working style, the boundaries are fluid for me. Likewise, my work is always flexible and not necessarily limited to desk work. For me, there is no classic separation between living and working styles, although I have a home office that also serves as a guest room.

My home office blends harmoniously into my home, as I have deliberately not only focused on a functional home office, but have also designed the room as part of everyday life away from work. It can also be used as a guest room with a sofa bed, and plants add to the cosy feel of the space. I also stayed true to the colour palette of the rest of the flat – so everything remains harmonious and does not stand out as a completely separate home office.

I call my home “Casa Feliz” on Instagram every now and then. In Portuguese it means “happy home” – and ultimately that is what it is all about: the feeling of being at home, because no matter what the style, you should be happy at home.
