CATHELIJNE VAN DER LANDE. TEN YEARS IN DUTCH RENOVATIONS
Interior design and renovation guidance for expats in the Netherlands
Renovating in Dutch is hard. I make it work, whether you lead it yourself or hand it to me.
Made for Expats. Built for the Netherlands.
A home with style, built on solid choices, that fits how you actually live. The Dutch market knowledge, the network, and the eye for design are here when you need them, whether you lead it yourself or hand it over.
You know what you want. You're just not sure how to get there. You need someone with a good contractor, good style, someone who know how things work here, and who has enough experience to keep your project on track.

About
Meet Cathelijne.
Meet Cathelijne.
I've been arranging spaces since I was a child. For 10 years now, I've worked on residential renovations and boutique hotels in the Netherlands, building work that lasts and fits the people living there.
I started Renovations for Expats because I wanted to make this way of working available to more people. The ones who came for the job and now find themselves negotiating with a Dutch contractor on a Tuesday afternoon.

Prefer to talk about your renovation first?
Some questions are easier to talk through than to write down. Book a short call, no commitment, and we'll take it from there.

“I found it quick and pleasant to work with her. She is very punctual, and that is quite rare among creatives. I dared to trust her completely, and that resulted in an interior that I could not have realized on my own.”

We knew what we wanted but couldn't make it concrete. They did that for us in a proactive way. Thinking along with us and understanding our taste. But also by suggesting contractors, suppliers, and materials.
