Editor’s Letter HOME IS WHERE the heart is. And I’m sure I’m not the only who feels that. For me, the place where I live, where I spend the most time with my family and where friends can come to visit for that much needed glass of wine, is one of the most important elements of my life. For me, my home is a definition of myself and a sanctuary for those I love most. It was from this that inspired Mooi. A Dutch name, stemming from my Dutch heritage that means beautiful. Everyone, from all walks of life, should have unique homes that are beautiful to them. Mooi aims to enhance the sanctuary which we all call home. This magazine is designed to inspire the audience and tries to have a little something for everyone. Everything about Mooi is focused on creating highend, unexpected or innovative designs elements that elevate the rooms far beyond being simple living spaces. Where there is a house, there is a home, and the team at Mooi is dedicated to presenting and allowing everyone the opportunity to be inspired and create. This month’s issue was created as a resource for both interior design professionals and inspiration for their clients. The interiors featured throughout Mooi are distinctly different and display how our interior designers can take a vision and make it come to life. Everyone is different, however the foundations for creating a home that you love is the same; to design interior spaces that function well, keep your personal treasures close, and provide not only a house, but a home and a sanctuary.
