A look inside Rowéna Verdaasdonk’s home: an interior that feels like a safe haven
Sometimes a house only truly becomes a home when everything feels just right. Not just visually, but above all in terms of atmosphere. Rowéna Verdaasdonk’s home is a fine example of this. Warm, peaceful and personal.
Whereas she used to be very much in the spotlight, today she consciously chooses balance. Her home in the Antwerp suburb of Stabroek has become that place. A safe cocoon where she can slow down, together with her little son Alessio.
In this blog, we take you inside her home to discover how she used furniture and lighting from Atmooz to create a space that perfectly combines tranquillity and cosiness. All the products used can be found on her personal collection page at Atmooz.
A home starts with how it feels
For Rowéna, interior design isn’t just about how something looks, but above all about how it feels. “Interior design is very important to me, because I spend a lot of time at home. You need to feel comfortable in your own home.”
That philosophy is reflected in her choices. No excess, no busy elements, but a warm foundation that invites you to relax. “Lighting, small furnishings and decoration really turn a house into a home.” It is precisely those details that make the difference between a space and a place where you want to be.
An interior that exudes tranquillity
When you step inside her home, the sense of tranquillity is immediately apparent. Everything feels in balance.
“I love working with natural tones and materials such as stone and wood. I combine these with soft fabrics like bouclé.”
This combination creates a warm and soft atmosphere. No harsh contrasts, just subtle transitions. “I don’t like clutter. Nothing should stand out too sharply. I prefer soft contrasts.”
The result is an interior that feels both cosy and soothing. A perfect balance between warmth and simplicity.
A place to unwind
After years in the spotlight, Rowéna has made a conscious choice to find peace at home. “My life can be hectic at times. That’s exactly why I need a cosy, peaceful atmosphere at home.”
Her home is the place where she can let go of everything for a while. Where she puts her phone aside and can enjoy the little moments. “The sitting area is my favourite spot. That’s where I really unwind. And my little boy has his play area right behind the sofa.” That combination of life and tranquillity makes the interior personal and authentic.
From the spotlight to balance
The period when her life was constantly on display on television and social media is now behind her. “I didn’t always enjoy that time. Today, I’ve made a conscious decision to keep my private life more private.”
That choice is also reflected in her home. Fewer distractions, more peace. Less of the outside world, more of a sense of home. “Home is truly our place. That feels good.”
Choosing quality and sustainability
Rowéna makes conscious choices when it comes to her interior. Quality is her top priority. “I think it’s important that products are sustainable and have a longer lifespan.”
That also means she doesn’t rush into purchases, but invests in pieces that will last. “My interior isn’t quite finished yet. For example, I’m still missing decorative items such as decorative cushions. It could do with being a bit cosier.” That evolution is part of the process. An interior grows alongside life.
Lighting that makes all the difference
One of the most important elements in her home is the lighting. She was specifically looking for an eye-catching feature above her dining table – something that not only provides light but also creates atmosphere.
“I wanted to create more depth in my living room.” She found just that in the Monza pendant lamp by Atmooz. “The teardrop shape and the amber-coloured glass give it such a warm feel. It instantly creates a cosy atmosphere.”
Flexibility was also important to her. “I liked the fact that I could hang the glass spheres at my own height. That was very easy to do.” The result is a lamp that is not only functional but also plays a central role in the interior.
A harmonious whole
The strength of her interior lies in its cohesion. She pairs the Monza pendant light with the Nobus table lamp on her TV stand. This creates a cohesive lighting scheme that ties the space together. “Everyone who visits notices the lamp straight away. The amber-coloured glass is particularly popular.”
A collaboration that inspires confidence
Rowéna’s first experience with Atmooz was particularly positive. “Delivery was super-fast and the customer service team really thought things through with me.” Initially, she had a different idea, but thanks to their advice, she made a better choice.
“I was looking for an elongated lamp, but was advised to go for an oval ceiling plate. That felt right straight away.” That personal approach makes all the difference. “It’s nice when they really take you into account and not just the product.”
