A Sense of Fun

An old Finnish house has a fresh and playful look, thanks to quirky details like the cheerful green tiled stove, restaurant menu art and smiling toy monkey perched on the couch. So happy and fun to live in. Via avotakka.

Colour Theory

This renovated home in Finland is a great lesson on how the judicious use of colour can really make a minimally furnished space sing — especially love the traditional stove in deep red. Via avotakka.

Home Sweet Home

The family of four living in this pretty Helsinki home love their bright environment, with its fresh candy colours against a bright white background. This strikes me as a very happy space — such a lot of good energy. Via avotakka.

Pure and Simple

This Finnish home is a perfect example of relaxed minimalism — it's simple, but warm and eminently liveable. Via Avotakka.
