neutral  writeaway: package of what?
1 hr
  -> plaatje met wat?

neutral  Michael Beijer: This might work, but it would need to be combined with info on the products/services. Try Googling: "we offer the complete package"

The complete picture


Explanation:
"Plaatje" actually refers to a picture, not a package or a range. "We offer the complete picture," or "... the entire picture" or "…the total picture" might make sense if it is displayed with a picture of a fully furnished room, or a picture of a showroom floor where various items are visible in the picture.
