Interior designer
Lara Mertens
My experience and passion for creating elegant high-end interiors is inspired by my love of traveling to discover the world.
As a certified interior designer, I believe this benefits me in understanding different cultures, environments and backgrounds, teaching me the methods and aesthetics used around the globe. I have lived in 4 countries so far- Luxembourg being my country of birth and childhood, having studied a bachelor and master degree in the United Kingdom and Norway, and Belgium for the start of my career. Languages are essential for me to understand and communicate: I speak Dutch, German, French, English, Luxembourgish and Spanish fluently. In my opinion, not enough still!
Traveling and generally being very interested in cultural exchange helps me to create interiors that are both unique and personalized, reflecting the individual tastes and lifestyles of my clients.
The journey so far
My career path has led me to have a good portfolio of knowledge backgrounds- working as an architect’s assistant, creating all sorts of bespoke furniture elements for a carpenter, dealing with high end Italian furniture brands in retail and also working for a real estate developer developing new projects and designing all sorts of homes for the Luxembourgish market.
The essential
The 13 years of experience in the field of interior design have taught me that the most important aspect of it all is that my clients feel comfortable. Comfortable in the design and creation process, the exchange with me and lastly, comfortable in the environment that we worked on together.
