If you can't, you can't
It didn't go according to plan. But not always in life. In the end, however, it turned out all right for the end result. Due to the plumbing renovation, both the kitchen and the bathroom of the family of three had to be replaced. The residents wanted the kitchen to be functional and nice. They wanted mud and Moroccan tiles. Something like that in terms of tone and material. Not white, too modern and also not a deadpan look. Smooth high gloss cabinets...

In front of the tables
We held an "Inspiring Decorating Night" with the new Hope Design team and I talked about choosing the themes for the decorative panels. Here's almost a live broadcast of the event, these are the themes I was spinning. It's worthwhile to pave the way for even this basic question, because home is a big thing and pictures matter (old Finnish proverb by Levonperä). I use...

In the deep shades of wallpapering
Finland seems to have returned home from its holidays, so it's time to look at the walls of your home. I've been wanting to learn how to wallpaper, so that I can at least wallpaper the walls of my own home myself. And now, from a distance of seven metres, the opportunity to do so has opened up. The entire white wall of the living room could use some green colour and pattern. I found this absolutely gorgeous Tropical fibre wallpaper on Photowall.fi. As I hadn't previously...

The target case for stagnation
We are in the midst of a boom in housing sales orders. Stow away the clutter, straighten the carpets and curtains, throw a fluffy blanket casually on the sofa. Clean and lived-in. And bright photographs to broaden the experience of the squares. Yes, inviting photos of the apartment are more inviting to look at and go on location than stale, no-effect shots. Here's a home styled by stylist Mari Hallinen and one of mine...

Search for a hotel-like cosy atmosphere
Furniture suggestions were requested for the new home of the male homeowner, and the style was described as understated and hotel-like cosy. Colours or materials could include metal, diamond, gold, silver. An empty new home came to the drawing board, with a clean surface and no need for renovation, but tips and direction were needed to create the atmosphere. The living room already had a sofa, a TV table and a blackboard selected, and needed plans for textiles, a coffee table, decorative items and an effect wall....

Will the fair be cancelled
The design of an exhibition stand can easily slip under the pen of an interior designer. A trade fair event can be an important way of creating awareness and familiarity for the company and making the consumer aware of it. The visual appearance and functionality of a stand can play a decisive role in whether people walk past or walk towards it. When planning a trade fair, it's worth taking at least these tips into account! 1. At the fair There is a huge amount to see at the fair. The eye wanders and wanders. Think of a uniform colour or...

Inevitably better
The entrance hall invites you inside. This typically narrow, dimly lit friend welcomes newcomers to the home and sends family members out into the world. Its functionality and impressiveness would be an advantage in the whirl of everyday life. However, it's easy to overlook the design of the hallway, having to fight for the showiness that is taken up by the more impressive co-foyers - the living room, kitchen and bedroom. The photos show the transformation of the hallway, where space and functionality were desired. The hallway...

My dream kitchen shows the spirit of the forest
Yes! A journalist puts my thoughts on the best of the kitchen into words. In the Home Dreams supplement of the Italian newspaper, you can read an interview about the renovation of our kitchen and its atmosphere after a year of use. I talk about how the wooden elements and DIY felt important and I talk about the microcement wall. The interview was conducted in the super-hot late summer, so the editor and photographer had hot spots to get the footage into the can. Quite a fun nuance in this twist on interior design...
