TRANSFORMING SPACES,
ELEVATING LIVES

ABOUT US

At Nouvelle ère, we embrace authenticity and individuality in every project. As an international design studio, we infuse a variety of cultural influences and artistic styles to craft eclectic interiors that are anything but ordinary.

Our philosophy? Design should have personality. Whether it’s through bold patterns, a mix of modern and vintage pieces, or playful contrasts, we create spaces that reflect the uniqueness of the people who live and work in them.

From the building stage of the project, to refreshing an existing space with new furniture, paint, wallpaper, and decor, to reviewing the functionality of the space, reorganising your room, or just offering interior design advice, we’re here to bring your vision to life every step of the way.

Being Belgo-German and having lived in Belgium, Germany and the UK, Joanne’s multicultural background has influenced both her view of the world and her designs. She has always been passionate about design and art, photography, spending her free time in museums and exhibitions, creating decors and taking in the world of music.

These interests led her to study Interior Design first at a Parisian school, later graduating as an Interior Designer with first class honour at the Berlin International University.

After working in a small interior design studio in Berlin, she wanted to run her own business, to be free with her ideas and work closely with her clients worldwide.

    “Living in a triplex with three roommates, in Brussels, the goal of the project with Nouvelle ère was to completely design our living spaces. The collaboration with Joanne and Lucy was very professional and led to results that entirely corresponded to our wishes! Attentive to our expectations, they proposed highly creative boards based on our criteria. In case of hesitation between different styles, Joanne and Lucy always guided us with good advice. We were amazed by the good selection of the suggested furniture and the quality of their work. If you’re looking for a living space designed in a way that reflects your spirit, I greatly recommend Nouvelle ère!”

    “Joanne was a great help with inspiration for our apartment. She helped us to visualise how to bring life to our space and bring a theme through the rooms which made it flow. She provided a lot of ideas through extensive research and presentations of different options which fit our design brief. Her options for lighting were particularly helpful - making us see how to brighten the darker areas the apartment. We were also really pleased with her ideas to create a bespoke artwork which drew on our life experiences. We would definitely recommend Joanne to others and will choose her for our next projects.”

    “I am a huge fan of decoration and own many eclectic ornaments and decorative pieces. As I like many styles, arranging them in an aesthetically pleasing way proved to be challenging. Joanne’s advice and guidance helped me enhance my belongings. She helped me visualise the space in the form of collages, suggesting ways on how to modify and improve the aspects of my living room. She also advised me to buy a few pieces of furniture to complement the design.”

    “We engaged with Joanne for a new kitchen for one of our own clients and she was fantastic throughout- she took us from initial design all the way through to finished product using various contacts she had. I would highly recommend her for anyone looking to take the stress out of interior design (or if you are like me totally useless at seeing what could be instead of what is!). Thanks again Joanne - looking forward to working with you again in the future!”

    "My winter garden, the extension to my kitchen, was too white, not cohesive and not welcoming enough. We were not spending as much time there as we wanted to, as it just did not work. I was stuck and had no real idea on how to twist this area in a warm cosy corner. My first contact with Nouvelle ère was already very useful. They asked the right questions which already helped narrowing my ideas down to what I felt the area should be like. I then received a lot of written input, as well as different options, colours, pictures etc. It helped me tremendously to find out what else would work for this area. It was great to talk to creative people like Joanne, who knows her job and shares her expertise. She triggered the right ideas and helped me, without being too pushy, to find my way. It was a slight coaching experience: she gave me space to think through all new ideas, focused me and left the freedom to change what I wanted to, it was a great guideline! We now feel at ease in our winter garden and love to use it. I didn't know what to expect but when I received the project it was exactly what I hoped to get and somehow needed! Thank you Joanne for your help and we can definitely recommend you !"

    “I visited Joanne at her studio to discuss a scheme for my canal boat. Whilst I didn't use her actual suggestions, Joanne certainly helped me decide what I wanted and didn't want, resulting in a fabulous mood board, which I would never have had the confidence to put together without her input. Many thanks for your help Joanne. x”
