The Dutch Royals moved into their revamped new home six months ago after 15 years living in Villa De Eikenhorst, a more modest residence located in Wassenaar, very close to The Hague.
Queen Maxima and her family's new home had to go through major renovations that took five years and cost 63 million euros. Huis Ten Bosch has been the official residence of the living monarch since 1981. Queen Emeritus Beatrix, Willem-Alexander's mother, lived there for more than 30 years. But from now on, it will be her son, Willem, along with Queen Maxima and princesses Amalia, Alexia and Ariana who will make the palace their own.
This is the first time the Royal House opens the doors to the property, and we've got a ~royal~ glimpse. Come on in as we reveal all the curiosities of the extraordinary royal palace!

Huis Ten Bosch - the house in the woods- is a XVII century manor located in the outskirts of The Hague. The almost thirty thousand square foot property is surrounded by woodland and had to be completely refurbished due to several structural issues.

The blue salon is one of the coziest rooms in the palace. Blue sofas and lamps create the perfect space for the family. The mural on the walls are authentic works of art. A giant collage by Maurice Scheltens and Liesbeth Abbenes, represent key elements in the life of the family such as King Willem's cape on the day of his coronation.

Enter the Blue room and you'll see special details lining the walls. A cot with a canopy can be seen as a tribute to the princesses' births and the chairs are ones the young royals used when they were little. One of them even has Amalia's name on the back. So sweet!

What used to be the Green Room back in the day is now known as the DNA room. Queen Maxima is really interested in genetic investigation, so artist Jacob van der Beugel used sixty-thousand tiles to create a work of art representing King Willem, Queen Maxima and Princess Amalia's DNA sequence to cover the walls. The most modern way of portraying the new royal generation.

The beautiful garden-facing Japanese room is light, airy and a tribute to Asia. Delicate drawings from the land of the rising sun line the walls.

And of course, there is no palace without a Chinese hall. The delicate design of the room, with beautiful paintings that even match the sofa's fabric, create an elegant environment for any private reception.

The white dining room still displays the same charm as it did centuries ago when it was first built in 1734. Beautiful carpets and a grand dining table are the key elements in this timeless room.
