The creation of a new design, adding colors and presenting it on a well-prepared mock-up, is what we love to do daily.
Developing our Color Concept started as a way to streamline and upgrade our internal way of working with colors.
When I showed the color stories we made to clients, they said: "Astrid, these color palettes and trend images are amazing! Can we buy these?"
And now, for over 5 years, we create new Color & Trend information twice yearly. For input, we go to design shows and leading stores for home and interior in Milan, Paris, Amsterdam, and London.
Most of the images, we made ourselves, creating an exclusive trend inspiration source, next to the 72+ Pantone colors we select to use in Color Harmonies fo 8 colors each.
"With so much color data in my head, and working daily with new home decor designs and projects, I developed a method to consistently (and fast) select and combine color combinations my clients, and my team, love to work with."
The AD Design in-house team, from left to right:
- Martin Salet, my partner in life and business. Focussed on Marketing, Business development and non-design issues, like legal, logistics, financial, etc.
- Yodi Geernaert, former intern and, after a bachelor design course in the UK, now working in our design staff as a very versatile designer.
- That's me
- Neeltje Schoenmaker, senior designer, our researcher for new tools and product simulations, and our Photoshop guru.
- Kelly Leever, my first intern and employee, my right hand in design. Amazing how she can make very diverse, and always high-quality, designs.
Not in this picture are our 6 freelance partners, for whom we promote and sell designs. In return, they receive our Color Concept and any skill tool we can offer.
Pictures taken by Hessel Waalewijn, fashion photographer and friend, who always shoots our Color Concept and our work images. Highly recommended!

"Astrid, your color palettes are gorgeous. Can we buy them?"
That's how it all started. We showed our color and trend information (made for internal use) to the clients of our design studio. Most wanted them.
So, here we are: Trend Color Harmonies for home products and interiors. For professional creatives who value fresh and updated colors (making color work more fun as a bonus).
