Interior designer Nathalie Deboel designed the beautiful Oostkerke House while embracing ts Belgian countryside locale. Tucked away in an old medieval village of the same name, Oostkerke House is the reworking of a dilapidated old farmhouse with purposeful and deliberate interior interventions. The cozy ‘polder’ house has been opened up to look out onto the majestic landscape lined with canals and poplar trees. Inside the home, the kitchen, dining, and sitting room are connected into one fluid living area, to maximize the time spent together.
The interior has been hand-crafted with a selection of natural and non-toxic materials. All the fittings and furniture were uniquely designed in finishes such as elm, tinted oak, cotton, and lime plaster. The detailing has been kept pure and simple, embracing the material qualities, to create a genuine and authentic environment. Nathalie says: “In this house, we used all the materials that you find in this region, to give the house a very authentic and genuine atmosphere.”
