In Haarlem, tucked between slow city walks, beach days and everyday family rhythms, Paulien lives with her partner and their three boys: Laut, Bowe and Mink. Step inside the home of Paulien van Beusekom, freelance photographer, interior designer and art director.

A Family Home
Paulien welcomes us into her home where creativity and family life quietly come together: slow mornings, quiet evenings, and spaces that grow and evolve along with the children.
Working freelance allows her to shape her days with intention, focused when she works, fully present when she’s home. “Home is where everything slows down,” she shares, “and where ideas are given the space to grow.”
The Living
We step into the living room first, the heart of the home. Natural materials, soft tones and a thoughtful mix of old and new set the foundation for the rest of the house.
On the sofa, a soft blanket lies within reach. And EcoBirdy's furniture blends seamlessly into the space, making it child-friendly without feeling overly playful. These are exactly the kinds of pieces Paulien gravitates towards.“Timeless, functional pieces that quietly elevate everyday life. Objects that feel natural in our home and remain beautiful over time.”
Styling for Growing Children
As we move through the house, one thing becomes clear, every children’s room is approached with the same philosophy:“Comfort and imagination guide every choice.”
Paulien starts with a calm, timeless base and allows personality to enter through details. “It doesn’t have to be perfect all at once. I actually love it when a room can grow and change along with the child.”

Let Mink show you around
Up the stairs, the youngest of the family, Mink, is waiting. Curious, playful, and ready to show us around.
Inside Mink’s Room
Mink’s room feels gentle & grounded, with a calm base layered with playful accents. Paulien's styling tip: “Choose flexible pieces that can grow with your child.” Just like the dresser from Oliver Furniture that is an anchor in the space. And the Metal Clothes Stand is also a timeless piece, growing with the favorite outfits of little Mink.

Inside Bowe’s Room
Next, we step into Bowe’s room. He’s sitting on his bed, reading his favorite book. A quiet moment in a room that feels slightly more grown, yet still playful.
Paulien shares “A room is always evolving, but with a strong base. Like how I try to raise our kids.”

A Favorite Spot
In the corner, Bowe’s favorite spot: the Malawi chair. He loves to sit here, reading a book, or cuddling a soft toy. Crafted from natural materials, the chair brings warmth & texture to the room.
Inside Laut’s World
We end our home tour in Laut’s room. A room that feels creative, layered and full of color. “These are all items I collected over the years and not all at once” Paulien says.
