“One of the reasons we purchased this home was due to its playfulness,” Ilse Wellen says of her family’s new-construction home in the town of Maarssen, the Netherlands. Wellen and her husband, Igor Kuettschreutter, work full-time and wanted to prioritize the interior of their home with their two young sons in mind. No area is off-limits, and the boys have plenty of play areas in and out of the house.
Who lives here: Igor Kuettschreutter, Ilse Wellen and their sons, Lars, 5, and Jesse, 3
Location: Maarssen, the Netherlands
Size: 1,900 square feet (180 square meters); 5 bedrooms, 2½ bathrooms
Year built: 2011
The bottom floor is an open layout encompassing the kitchen, dining room and living room. Integrated into the kitchen is an area full of toys and games, where the couple’s two sons can play while their parents prepare a meal.

The couple bought the large painting by Patrick Bancel that hangs on the wall in the dining area at a charity auction.

Interior designer Anja Hesp designed their dining room and family room. “I wanted the style of the living room to be warm and with a bit of a ’50s style by adding brass lights, a drink cabinet, a bit of gold in the wallpaper and a luxurious shiny carpet,” Hesp says
“But with two boys, it had to be practical too.” Adult drinks are kept in a custom-made French walnut cabinet in a corner of the living room. “I liked the idea of designing a cabinet with drinks, because Igor works for Heineken,” Hesp says.

The central staircase to the bedrooms on the second floor is protected by childproof gates. The boys’ bedrooms are next to the master bedroom, seen here.

Lars’ room is decorated with dragon and knight stickers as well as a map of the United States.

Jesse’s room is clean and simple yet still playful. There is plenty of space for when it is time to replace the crib with a small bed.
