Renovation, interiors and furnishing in Brussels.

About YoU

You don't need to be an expert in your home.

My clients are often professionals, entrepreneurs and international families with demanding lives and little time to give to a renovation. They are knowledgeable and confident in their own world, but creating a home calls for another kind of expertise.

​

Some arrive with strong ideas about what they like; others don’t know where to begin. What they share is the wish for a beautiful, well-considered home, and a willingness to invest in getting it right, without having to become interior designers or carry hundreds of decisions on their own.

​

If you recognise yourself here, my role is to understand how you live, show you possibilities you may not have considered, and bring architecture, materials, furniture and the many practical decisions together into a coherent whole. Just as importantly, I guide you through the process with clarity and care, so that creating your home feels enjoyable and manageable rather than overwhelming.

About ME

I'm Francesca Puccio.

I'm a building engineer, interior designer, and the founder of Standing Renovation in Brussels.

​

I grew up in Milan, where design, elegance and an appreciation for beautiful things became part of the way I see the world. For more than fifteen years I have been bringing that technical background together with my love of interiors and the way people live.

​

I believe the spaces we live in shape how we feel every day, and helping people live better through their homes is what drives my work.

​

I have a real ability to sense what you love, even when you can’t yet put it into words, and to translate it into a home that feels unmistakably yours. 

​

For me, the best homes are beautiful, personal and wonderfully natural to live in.

Testimonials

What clients say

“Your solid technical knowledge and the way you suggested things I wouldn't have thought of myself were most valuable. The end result far exceeds what I imagined initially. You opened my eyes to what was possible.”

Greta, Brussels

Full Renovation

“Francesca is great at taking half-baked ideas and shaping them into solid plans. She has a very strong technical background and a strong aesthetic and spatial sense. I also appreciated her calm manner and very structured and professional approach.”

Andrew, Brussels

“Francesca's project management and organisational skills kept us on track and on budget and allowed us to keep on doing our jobs and living our busy lives.

Michaela, Brussels

“Not only does it look different and a hundred times better, it feels different, more ‘like us’ — not only a house, but ‘home’.”

Francesco, Brussels

Beautiful Living

A home is the setting for ordinary life.


Mornings and dinners. Conversations and celebrations.
Quiet moments. Children growing up. Friends arriving.
New chapters beginning.


Good design quietly makes all of this better.


Beauty matters, but so do comfort, proportion, function and the simple pleasure of coming home.
