Our Favorite Dutch Design Pieces for Your Living Room
The living room is the center of your home. It’s where you unwind after a long day, celebrate special occasions, and share time with loved ones. Sometimes, this means your living room can feel a little too lived in.
Our Dutch Roots
As a Dutch furniture company based in the United States, we often get asked how Uniek Living started. Uniek Living’s founders, Micki and Elsbeth Rowaan are sisters. Although they’ve lived in the United States for over 30 years, the Rowaan sisters have Dutch roots and frequently return to the Netherlands to visit family and friends who still live there. After decorating their house with Dutch furniture and other items they brought back from their trips, their American friends became interested in the styles of Dutch design.
The Story Behind Holland vs. the Netherlands
We are often asked what the difference is between Holland and the Netherlands. We have people ask if the two were meant to be used interchangeably. We thought this was definitely a subject worth clearing up. Besides, we love sharing our culture and history as much as we love sharing extraordinary Dutch design.
Using Modern Furniture to Overcome the Challenges of Small Spaces
At Uniek Living, we believe modern furniture is meant for every space, even the smallest apartments in the biggest cities. Dutch design is considered to be functional and innovative, which is just what you need when decorating for those smaller, harder to arrange places.
