Back to 1969. Starting from the visionary course of its founders, driven by passion and with a keen eye for trends, Kersten was born. Years later, the family business has grown into one of the largest international suppliers of home accessories for the B2B market. With an infinite outlook, but still maintaining that close family feeling.
During the October home month, TICA highlights the trend ‘Dare to be Colourful‘. One of the newest theme collections from this loyal TICA exhibitor perfectly aligns with this. The TICA editorial team discussed this with the Kersten ‘Collections’ team.
Hello! We are Margreet, Bianca, and Naomi. Margreet has been working for Kersten since 2013, Bianca since 2022, and Naomi started this year. Kersten has been an exhibitor at TICA since 2010, both in Aalsmeer and Venlo. All three of us work in the shop-in-shop at TICA Aalsmeer. This is very enjoyable and interesting because we have a lot of contact with customers (TICA members). These customers often own flower shops, restaurants, home decor stores, webshops, or work as interior stylists. We understand their needs well and know what interests them.
At Kersten, we launch a distinctive collection every six months, anticipating the trends of the upcoming season. Currently, we have a collection of over 9,000 home decoration items, which can be divided into no less than eighteen themes for every home style preference. From modern classic to very trendy and hip.

Actually, from all corners of the world. We spot trends, monitor the market, and then import home decoration products from around the globe. At Kersten, we often say we have a magpie’s eye for beautiful things. Additionally, we have a very creative in-house team that designs products. Incidentally, developing our own label is something that will receive more attention in the near future.
That’s right! For example, in the ‘Fashion Queen’ theme, you’ll find lots of color. These include trendy statement pieces from the fashion world. Hip trend colors alternating with pastels; unique eye-catchers for customers who dare to be bold! We are expanding this with items that are designed by Kersten itself.
Absolutely! Both at TICA Aalsmeer and TICA Venlo, we have an extra styling and sales point in October featuring many colorful interior items. These align perfectly with the bold trend ‘Dare to be Colourful’. Perfect for those who want their interior to shine especially during the winter period!
Make sure you keep stimulating your customers. Regularly use different base colors in your store and change the window display frequently. By combining different home styles, you create an exciting mix of products.
