For one weekend, the doors of this interior design paradise open to everyone

An interior design paradise that you normally cannot simply walk into opens its doors for one weekend. On Saturday 3 and Sunday 4 October, the Inspiration Days return at ETC. in Culemborg. A rare opportunity for interior enthusiasts, though 'inside opportunity' might be the more fitting description in this case.

Anyone serious about interior design probably already knows ETC by name. The interior centre in Culemborg is normally accessible to professionals only, but during the Inspiration Days the doors open to interior enthusiasts as well. Inside, more than 120 exhibitors present their latest collections. Think lighting, fabrics, exclusive wallpaper, art, decoration, furniture and complete custom interiors. Plenty of reason to look at that empty corner at home with fresh eyes.

The appeal lies not only in what is on display, hanging or gleaming. During the Inspiration Days you see how different materials, colours and shapes are combined into contemporary interiors. Useful if you are in the middle of a renovation yourself, but equally pleasant when you only have plans for now. A bit of unguarded browsing is allowed after all.

Meeting an interior designer

Have you been thinking about interior plans for a while but are not sure where to start? During the weekend, affiliated interior designers will be present, identifiable by a special button. You can meet them informally and discover how such a professional works. Not an extensive design session at the drawing board, but an initial conversation that could well be the start of a completely new interior.

If you want to take advantage of this, you can plan a free introductory meeting with an affiliated interior professional after purchasing an entrance ticket.

Tickets are available via the ETC website. Moreover, with discount code MA1026 you receive €5 off your entrance ticket.
