OUR STORY: FROM A JOURNEY TO AN INTERIOR DREAM
Sometimes a single journey can change your life. For me, Fabienne, it all started during a trip to Mexico. As an event creator with a passion for travel, design, jewelry, and architecture, I was overwhelmed by the passion and creativity of the designers I met there. Every piece of furniture, every jewel, and every decorative object told its own story of artisanal craftsmanship and contemporary design.
This experience inspired me to create my own dream: a place where I could share these unique treasures with people back home in Belgium. This is how Your Place For Now, an online concept store and gallery, was born.
Here, you will find a carefully curated collection with a soul, a mix of the best of Belgian and Mexican designers.
We believe in fair trade, sustainability, and quality. Every item you find here is made with respect for tradition and the people who create them. It's our mission to bring the beauty of their craftsmanship to your home.
Driven by my passion for color and interiors, I also offer personal at-home color consultations in Belgium so you can create the perfect atmosphere in your space. Would you like to learn more or book an appointment? Feel free to contact me at fabienne@yourplacefornow.be.

What’s the concept about ?
"It’s way more than a simple store. It is at once a store and the gallery… dedicated to art from here, but first of all, from the other countries. Each year I dedicate my space to one country. Each month I present one designer, one creator or one artist.
I love travelling. I love searching and I always follow my gut feeling. I’m passionate about discovering and sharing my discoveries, surprising others but first of all, presenting the artists who imagined and created such beautiful things."
Why did you start with Mexico ?
"Excellent question. People ask me that very often.
I think that our vision of Mexico is quite clichéd…We have those stereotype objects in mind – like sombreros, ponchos and mariachis with big moustaches! Even my friends were trying to convince me that Mexico wouldn’t be the best choice. But again..I stuck to my gut feeling and I was right. Now, everybody is surprised how rich and diverse this country is!
Mexico isn’t just a holiday’s destination. This country is astonishing, filled with creativity which we don’t know well yet.
Of course, I’d love to share, to surprise but mainly, to tell the stories about those people, the way the work, product, function..that’s one of the main reasons I’ve decided to open it as a gallery as well."
What country is next on your map ?
"Every year, I will present a new country, that’s clear. As, during the lockdown I couldn't travel, I started looking for the hidden gems of Belgian Design and included them in our collection. It doesn’t mean that each year I will switch completely to something else and stop collaborating with previous countries and artists. So, of course you can still find the best-selling designers from the Mexican Collection. They will always be welcome to present their new pieces.
Thus, the collection itself will always evolve, will follow new destinations and bring new hidden gems…"
