It is not enough to simply have a plan—though admittedly, that is the most important and difficult part—you also have to be able to put it on paper. After all, you’ll want to have at least an idea of what your home will look like in the near future.
This interview was conducted by Alexander Thomas Falkhofen from the website ‘home und relax.’ He spoke with me about the art of relaxing at home and the connection between interior design, color, and organization—and how these elements contribute to a sense of relaxation and well-being within your own four walls.
Some things simply never go out of style. Interior classics are true investment pieces that we will never grow tired of. In the June issue of Maxi, I shared my tips on where to find them and what to look for when making a purchase.
With its historic charm and modern amenities, the Wöhlehof in Spelle provided a wonderful backdrop for my presentation, ‘Truly Beautiful Living,’ hosted by the Freren-Spelle Rural Women’s Association. Speaking to nearly 90 engaged guests, I discussed the psychological impact of color, optimal room layout, and simple changes that make a major difference—from rearranging furniture to repainting doors. I was particularly delighted by the interest in my ‘Verschenkomat’ (a ‘gift-it-forward’ station)—a wonderful way to pass on beautiful items. It was an inspiring evening filled with valuable conversations!

But even if we haven’t met yet, I look forward to meeting you. Is your home in need of a ‘change of scenery’—or perhaps a bit more than that?”
Feel free to ask—I would be happy to help you, too.
