MY STORY
HUIS Homewares is a homesewn business, creating high-quality colourful homewares and accessories to brighten your home, and to help make your home a HUIS.
My passion for sewing started when I enrolled on a sewing course in 2016. I discovered a love for the alchemy of turning a piece of flat fabric into a functional and beautiful 3D item.
From those early sewing lessons, the idea of HUIS Homewares started to grow. "Huis" is a Dutch word meaning "house" or "home", and reflects my part-Dutch heritage. The orange of the logo is a national colour of Holland, and one of my favourites too. HUIS Homewares was established in 2018.
Inspired by the vibrant colours of the Tropics, I am drawn to fun and playfully-patterned fabrics and love to turn them into gorgeous, brightly- coloured things for the home, and increasingly to wear as well. I buy limited quantities of each fabric so each piece is one of only a limited number of the same.
Ever conscious of the environment, I I only use natural fabrics in my sewing (like cottons and linens) and am striving to use more "deadstock" fabrics too, that would otherwise end up in landfill. Everything is handmade by me, and I work on every piece with love. My collection includes cushions, small accessories and seasonal decorations.
Sewing brings me peace. I hope my pieces bring a smile to your home.
