Interior Design in Rotterdam
Complete interior design, available in Rotterdam
By Shakir offers the complete interior design service in Rotterdam and across Zuid-Holland: spatial planning, 3D visualisation before construction begins, material sourcing, bespoke joinery, and final dressing. One consistent scope from first conversation to the day you walk into a finished home.
Rotterdam was rebuilt after 1940 in ways Amsterdam never was, and the architecture shows it: Wilhelminapier loft conversions, the Kralingen townhouses, raw concrete warehouse apartments near Katendrecht. By Shakir designs interiors that work with the boldness of Rotterdam structure rather than softening it into something generic.

Common questions
About interior design in Rotterdam
Do you design interiors for Rotterdam loft conversions and warehouse apartments?
Regularly. High ceilings, exposed concrete, large windows — these are features worth celebrating, not concealing. The key is warmth: warm materials (stone, linen, timber) against the raw structure. Our material palette was built for this contrast. We do not default to cold-industrial just because the shell is industrial.
How does By Shakir handle projects in newly built Rotterdam tower apartments?
New builds need more personalisation, not less. Developer finishes tend toward the generic. We typically start from the handover state (neutral walls, standard floor, standard lighting) and replace or layer over what does not work. Budget conversations happen early so you know exactly what a meaningful transformation costs.
Can you collaborate with my Rotterdam-based architect on a renovation?
Yes. Architect-led and interior designer-led projects have different dynamics and we are comfortable with both. If the architecture is still in design, we ideally want to be involved early, as some structural choices significantly affect what is possible with the interior. If the build is finished, we work from what exists.
Is Rotterdam reachable from the Tiel studio without long lead times?
Rotterdam is 90 km from Tiel, roughly an hour's drive. Site visits are scheduled as needed. Initial and concept consultations can happen at the showroom in Tiel; later-stage visits to the Rotterdam property are built into the project timeline.
