A Country cottage near Bruges, Belgium

At IndigoKashmir, we have a deep love for colourful interiors, and perhaps it's the Indian DNA coursing through our veins that fuels this passion. Nevertheless, we also have a profound appreciation for the charm of rustic cottages. We hope you enjoy these photos and find inspiration within.

We cordially invite you to explore this exquisite home nestled just outside Bruges, Belgium. In a land celebrated for its fine Belgian linen, there's a prevailing tendency to harmonise interiors with the simplicity of nature. While India boasts a vibrant tapestry of colours inspired by its rich spices and blooming flora, Belgium's design essence often goes underappreciated. Yet, it possesses a unique charm characterised by a modest colour palette that remains grounded yet elegantly warm and inviting.

This home is especially welcoming on a scorching summer day after spending hours pedalling along the canals and cobblestone streets, admiring the exquisite medieval architecture of Bruges. Biking in Belgium is an absolute delight, especially if you, like us, prefer leisurely rides without the challenge of steep hills. Belgium, much like the Netherlands, offers the perfect terrain for such pursuits—it's flat, with well-maintained bike lanes and regulations that make cycling a relaxing experience, in stark contrast to the constant alertness required while biking in central London.

Fooduary Day 2: Belgian Waffles

I am a waffle over pancakes kind of person, which do you favour? Also apparently the theme for this challenge is vague historical research bc I am cutting it close and all the sources disagree, I tried my best to find a sort of national Belgian folk dress but I had a devil of a time finding sources I felt confident about. I found this really fun celebration/folk dance that stuck out to me not only because of the playful energy but because I could find multiple photo references that were clearly of the same event or similar with a clear visual style I could extrapolate from. And the outfits all had layers of skirts/aprons that gave me a delicious opening for layers of waffles of course. The patterns and fruit allusions are decidedly fictional to reference waffle toppings but I think she turned out sweet ;)

I am the artist! Do not post without permission & credit! Thank you! Come visit me over on: instagram, tiktok or check out my coloring book available now \ („• ֊ •„) /

place saint jaques// liège

this jewel of modernism is located in the centre of liège. in addition to its use as a public building, it also houses several private companies. unfortunately, i have not yet been able to find out who the architects are and when it was built. as soon as i find out, i will add the details to the pictures.

mitten in liège befindet sich dieses kleinod der moderne, neben der nutzung als öffentliches gebäude sitzen hier auch noch mehrere private unternehmen. leider konnte ich bis jetzt noch nicht herausfinden wer die architekten sind und wann es errichtet wurde. sobald ich das herausgefunden habe, füge ich die daten dann den bildern bei.
