Interior Design in Antwerp

Complete interiors in Antwerp

By Shakir has completed luxury residential projects in Antwerp — the same full-service scope that defines every commission: spatial planning, 3D visualisation, material selection, procurement, bespoke joinery, and final dressing. Distance changes the logistics. It does not change the standard.

The Country Estate near Antwerp was By Shakir's first Belgian commission: a heritage property where the brief was to make centuries-old architecture feel genuinely habitable without stripping it of what makes it worth owning. The project showed that working across the Dutch-Belgian border changes the administration, not the quality of the work.

Common questions

About interior design in Antwerp

Has By Shakir worked with heritage properties near Antwerp with protected elements?

Yes. The Country Estate commission near Antwerp had protected heritage elements. Original floors, plaster ceiling mouldings, period windows: all preserved and designed around. The design brief was contemporary comfort within a heritage frame, not a pastiche restoration and not an erasure of what was there.

How does working across the Dutch-Belgian border affect a project with By Shakir?

Administration changes. Belgium has its own building rules and permit processes, and where structural changes are involved, you will need a locally registered architect or engineer. By Shakir handles the interior design; Belgian administrative requirements are a parallel track. For the Antwerp estate project, we worked alongside the client's local contacts for anything requiring Belgian professional registration.

Can you blend Dutch and Belgian interior traditions in a single project?

By Shakir's aesthetic does not start from a national tradition. It starts from the client, the property, and the brief. The Dutch-Belgian border runs through a continuous cultural region; the differences in interior design vocabulary are less significant than the differences between any two individual clients. We design for the person and the place, not the nationality.

We are looking at properties in the Brasschaat and Schilde area outside Antwerp. Is By Shakir active in that area?

The Country Estate commission was in that corridor. Brasschaat and Schilde are affluent residential areas with the kinds of substantial properties By Shakir is designed for. Contact us with a brief description of your project and we will tell you quickly whether there is a fit.
