ABOUT
I’m Marieke, a Dutch-Australian interior designer, tutor, and content creator with a passion for bold, story-rich spaces. After juggling a design degree with a corporate career, I left the boardroom behind to create and share unique interiors. Now, I also mentor aspiring designers at the Interior Design Institute.
​
I don’t do labels - my style is a mix of new and vintage, upcycled treasures, and art, crafting spaces that are both personal and affordable. My family and I split our time between Haarlem, Valencia, and Sydney.
Whispering Bold Style
Ever wondered where Whispering Bold came from? I struggled to find a name that captured my style - urban chic meets vintage with a touch of jungalow, but always led by intuition. I love statements, eye-catchers, and bold choices - without going over the top.
When I asked my husband, he said, “Your style is bold and daring, but grounded. It makes a statement without shouting.” And just like that, Whispering Bold was born.
