Where are we, and how did you end up here of all places?

In our Berlin apartment in Kreuzberg, Bergmannkiez. My boyfriend and I moved in about three years ago (when it was still easier to find an apartment in Berlin). I moved here for work and didn’t plan on staying that much — but how it sometimes is, you fall in love with the city and especially the people you meet.

What do you like the most about your home?

I love that it resembles our characters very much. It is eclectic, filled with a mix of beautiful vintage finds, modern aesthetics and art. At the same time, it is heavily packed with graphic novels, action figures, and collectibles from our childhood. There is a lot to discover and you always come across something you haven’t seen before when you visit our place. The apartment also has beautiful wing doors connecting the two main rooms, which creates a very open and inviting feeling — also makes it look bigger than it is.

Describe your decorating style in three words!

Eclectic, nostalgic, quirky

Do you have any tips for anyone who wants to repaint? 

Go for it! We actually didn’t think about it that long and that was a good decision after all. Also, painting shelves and cabinets in the same colour as the wall can look really cool!

When ordering the samples, we had them stuck on the wall for about three days, and could really see how the colour tones looked during the day vs. in the evening.
