Antwerp resides in mansions: narrow plots, three to five stories, high ceilings, and a steep staircase winding around a tight core. Added to this is the Flemish light, which remains grey for much of the year.
Narrow and Tall Means: The Staircase is Decisive
As in Amsterdam, the staircase is the bottleneck, not the door. Where a furniture lift cannot be used, only disassembled pieces can be brought upstairs. If you plan to place a large sofa on the main floor, you should walk the path beforehand, ideally with a cardboard template of the original size.
Grey Light, Warm Materials
Under overcast skies, cool tones appear flat. Leather, warm wood, and brass add depth, while a wall mirror opposite the window distributes the limited daylight. Several floor lamps replace the missing sun better in the evening than a bright ceiling light.
High Ceilings in Small Spaces
The rooms are tall but not large. This calls for a few, vertically oriented pieces: a tall display cabinet instead of a wide sideboard, pictures stacked rather than side-by-side, and a sofa with less depth that doesn't overcrowd the room.
Shipping to Antwerp
We deliver to Antwerp. The price depends on the shipping weight, which for furniture is calculated from dimensions and packaging. Zone: EU. The prices are gross prices.
| Shipment | Shipping Costs |
|---|---|
| Parcel up to 31.5 kg | 34.90 € |
| Freight forwarding up to 150 kg | 169.90 € |
| Freight forwarding up to 300 kg | 210.00 € |
| Freight forwarding up to 600 kg | 280.00 € |
Freight forwarding goods are delivered curbside. This means: to the curb in front of the address, not into the apartment and not into the room of installation. If you require delivery to an upper floor, please arrange it locally; this page explains what to consider.
The complete table with all weight categories can be found under Shipping and Delivery, and the delivery times under Delivery Time.
Frequently Asked Questions
What should be considered when transporting furniture into an Antwerp mansion?
The staircase, not the door. It is steep and tightly winding. Only disassembled pieces can be brought upstairs without a furniture lift.
Which materials are effective in Flemish light?
Warm materials with depth: leather, warm wood, brass. A mirror opposite the window distributes the limited daylight.
How do you furnish tall but small rooms?
Vertically and sparingly. A tall display cabinet instead of a wide sideboard, pictures stacked, and a sofa with less depth.
