The Home of Soul — an 8-week journey

Most homes are designed to look beautiful. Very few are designed to support the human being living inside them.

The Home of Soul is an 8-week journey where you design your home from the inside out. So your space supports your life, your rhythm, and who you are becoming.

Your home is shaping your nervous system every day.

Start the 8-week Home of Soul journey.

Does this sound familiar?

 

Your home looks beautiful, but something still feels off.

You keep searching for inspiration, ideas, the right choices…
yet nothing truly settles.

You want calm, clarity, a space that supports your life.

But instead you feel overwhelmed by trends, options, and endless decisions.

And somewhere inside, you sense it:

Your home no longer reflects who you are becoming.

 You are not the problem. Your home simply hasn't been designed for you.

 

Your home is your nervous system outside your body

Everything in your environment communicates with your body, all day long. 

Light
Color
Material
Flow
Space
Objects

Your nervous system responds to your home before your mind even notices. When your space supports you, everything shifts. You think clearer. You rest deeper. You feel more grounded. You feel more like yourself.

 

The Home of Soul Method

Feel: Understand what your body truly needs in a space.
See: Recognise where overstimulation or imbalance exists in your home.
Align: Create a space that supports your life, your rhythm, and who you are becoming.

 

That is the foundation of The Home of Soul 

 

Nice to meet you! 

 

Hi, I'm Mariska

Interior designer, founder of The Home of Soul, and a lifelong explorer of the relationship between people and the spaces they live in.

Through The Home of Soul I guide people to create homes that don’t just look beautiful — but truly feel like home.

More about me

This journey is for you if...

 

You want a home that truly supports your life

You feel overwhelmed by design choices

You are building, renovating, or redesigning a space

You want to design with intention instead of trends

You sense your home no longer reflects who you are becoming

 

You don't need design experience. You don't need to be 'creative'.

You only need a willingness to listen — to your space, and to yourself.

A more confident start to our renovation

"We are at the start of a major renovation, and I really wanted to make all the decisions for our new home myself. I love interior design, but I noticed that I was starting to doubt myself more and more. There are so many options when it comes to colours, materials and layouts. That is why my husband and I decided that I would follow the Immersion programme.

I am quite rational by nature, and I mainly wanted to understand why something works. During the programme, I learned how much an interior designer actually notices and takes into account. It is not just about colour and furniture, but also about light, sightlines, proportions and how we move through a space as a family.

At first, I had to get used to the meditation and reflection exercises, but each week I became more open to them. That part of the programme really surprised me in a positive way. I now make much more conscious decisions and feel far more confident during the renovation. Our home will not only look beautiful, but will also truly suit our family, our two children and our dog."

My home feels like mine again 


"After my divorce and after my daughter moved out, I was left living in a house that still belonged to my old life. Since starting a new job and working from home more often, I began to notice how much that affected me. My home no longer felt like my own place.

During the Journey programme, I started looking at how I live now and what I need in this new stage of my life. I did not replace everything at once, but I made very conscious changes. My daughter’s old bedroom is now a lovely home office, and I created a place in the living room where I can truly relax.

What I loved about the programme is that it is not only about interior design. You also look at yourself and at what you need to feel good in your home. I recognise myself in my interior again, and I notice that I feel much happier when I come home. For the first time in a long while, my house truly feels like my own place again."

- Caroline Smit
Journey

From endless inspiration to a clear direction

"I had literally saved hundreds of interior images, but I still did not know what truly suited me. I love fashion, design and beautiful objects, but I am also very sensitive to trends. As a result, my home mainly consisted of separate items that I liked, without them coming together as one clear whole.

Self Study gave me exactly the structure I needed. I could work through everything at my own pace, and I started with the living room. The exercises helped me understand which colours, shapes and materials genuinely suit me, and which choices were mainly influenced by trends.

My living room now feels calmer and much more personal, without becoming boring. I am really proud of the result and enjoy showing it to friends and family. I already cannot wait to work on my bedroom, home office and hallway next."

- Thomas Vermeer
Self Study

A deeply personal 8 week design journey

 

The Home of Soul is not a styling course. It is not about copying trends or creating a perfect Pinterest home.

This is a deeply personal, step-by-step journey where you learn to become the conscious designer of your own home — and along the way, come home to yourself.

Over 8 weeks, you will move through every essential layer of conscious design:
 Vision, Architecture, Color, Material, Light, Flow, Expression and Integration.

Each week builds on the last. Each week brings you closer to a home that truly supports your life.

Developed through 20 years of designing high-end homes and studying the psychology of space.

Let's talk about your home

Week by week

This 8-week program guides you through every layer of your home — from spatial layout and color psychology to light, material, and personal expression. Each week has its own focus, so the process stays clear and the changes you make are grounded, lasting, and completely your own.

After 8 weeks, you will...

  • You no longer feel overwhelmed by design decisions.

  • You understand exactly what your space needs.

  • You know how light, color, materials and flow affect your nervous system.

  • Your home supports your rhythm instead of draining your energy.

  • And for the first time… your home truly feels like yours.

This is not about decorating your home.

It is about understanding how your environment shapes your nervous system.

Once you see this, you will never look at space the same way again.
