Creating or redoing your interior can quickly turn into chaos. Too many choices, too many styles. For most, it’s overwhelming. That’s where studio de Leeuw comes in.
We bring calm into the process and guide you step by step, from initial idea to final shopping list. We’re not here to chase trends, we prefer to shape a warm, minimalistic base.
Every project ends with your personal interior playbook in hand — so you’ll always know what to do next, and finally find peace in the process.

MEET THE DESIGNER
Hi, I am Ilona de Leeuw and I am the creative behind studio de Leeuw. I started my career as a hairdresser. From there I started working in the fashion industry, styling hair for magazines and runways. After having had my own salon for 10 years I was ready to take on a new adventure. I have always worked in creative industries and always had a passion for interior, so I decided to follow my heart. I went back to school and finished my education at NIA.
Having seen all the trends evolve throughout my work, my focus now is on timeless and warm, yet minimalistic interiors. It’s important to find that calm when you enter your home. And when that foundation is right, you will still have the room to play with personal items and make it your own. I’m here to guide and bring you innovative ideas, but in the end it’s your space and you have to feel good in it.
