About me

Hi, I'm Chrissy de Neve, 37 years old, and I live with my sweet boyfriend and son in Haarlem. We're both huge animal lovers, so you might have already seen one of our pets (our dog Cooper and our cats Davy & Charlie) on my social media! Or if you'd like, follow me on Instagram @houseofneve.nl ;-)

I've moved nine times in my life, including two times when I bought a house and had to rebuild it from scratch! Most people find moving and renovating very stressful, but honestly, I'm actually coping really well. I could easily move every two years (though my boyfriend isn't so thrilled about that, haha).

For the past 12 years, I've worked with great pleasure and dedication in the e-commerce fashion world. While I enjoyed this industry, I missed the challenge and noticed my creative side wasn't fully expressed. Interior design has always been my passion, so in 2023, I decided to change course and embark on a new path in the interior design world.

I retrained as an interior designer at the NIA Academy, where I was able to further develop my passion for interior design. I also earned my Authorized SketchUp Trainer certification from Design8, the leading supplier of SketchUp, among other products. Now I enjoy teaching this powerful design software.

And that's how House of Neve was born in July 2023. While my last name is pronounced the Dutch way (NEEVE), my company name is pronounced the English way (NIEV). It sounds a bit more chic ;-).

I'm proud to say I've already completed many wonderful projects, and I look forward to creating even more inspiring and unique interiors. View my portfolio here !

I prefer working with timeless materials and shades for lasting enjoyment. I'm also fascinated by nature and love to incorporate earthy tones into my interiors. Elegance, tranquility, and warmth are key elements for me when creating a space's ambiance. These are where I feel most at home!

My passion lies in creating interior drawings from start to finish. Creating something from nothing, I LOVE IT! Using 2D and 3D designs, I help clients visualize their dream home. From color choices, materials, layouts, and furniture, a photorealistic interior design ensures you're making the right choice for your living needs! Moreover, a well-thought-out design prevents unnecessary revisions, saving time and money in the final project.

I also support other interior designers by providing SketchUp training and taking over all or part of their design work. This allows them to focus on other important or more enjoyable aspects of their work. In this way, I help them get the most out of their businesses.
