The interior of the house has been updated step by step. My first task was to design an atmospheric wine cellar in the dark, windowless corner of the basement floor. At the same time we changed the terrace furniture. The wine cellar got a sense of space with a beautiful landscape wallpaper of the Italian coast. The wine storage space was divided by a glass sliding wall and a carpenter-made, solid oak shelves suitable for storing wines. The concrete floor was covered with a beautiful sisal mat.
Next came the kitchen, which was completely renovated. Also the lighting and dining room furniture were updated. The living room and master bedroom are the latest rooms that have been given a new look.

The former Merbau parquet in the living room was kept, so I chose a new floor tile for the kitchen and hallway that matches nicely with the parquet colour. It also matches nicely with the decorative stones of the fireplace. A magnificent wallpaper with a velvety, three-dimensional surface was ordered for the back wall of the living room. The sofa comes out beautifully against it. A custom-made console table was placed behind the sofa, bringing the sofa closer to the fireplace and this way we could fit beautiful table lamps and ornaments behind the sofa. Airy light curtains soften the tall windows. The new furniture in the living room fits beautifully to the former dining set, which was placed closer to the kitchen. The impressive shell hanging lamps are perfect for high spaces.
The kitchen layout was redesigned and the cooking top got placed to the island. The cooker hood was hidden under the ceiling. Black-stained solid wooden doors and marble countertops fit perfectly with the rest of the interior. Wall-to-wall carpets and new cabinets were installed in the bedrooms. High-quality materials and custom-made furniture by a carpenter create a luxurious yet warm atmosphere in a modern stone house.

I made a complete interior design plan and took care of the product orders for the project. I also coordinated the renovation on a very tight schedule. The result is a fabulously beautiful home. In the second phase, I also decorated a separate guest house and the basement floor bath, with separate pictures in the “Dream Home Spa” gallery.

Bamboo blinds, a cognac brown armchair and decorative pillows of the same shade bring warmth to the otherwise gray-white color scheme of the living room. The visible parts of the stairs were painted in the shade of the tile floor and covered with sisal carpet. In the guest room, we decided to emphasize the room height with an urban-themed mural wallpaper. The green color matches nicely with the nature visible from the windows.
Downstairs, a dark color scheme was continued on the wall surfaces, lightened by white fixtures. The washing machines are hidden behind the folding doors. The atmospheric lighting of the bathroom combined with concealed thermostatic showers and recessed shampoo shelf make the whole thing timelessly stylish.

The customer had fallen in love with the landscape-themed stone mosaics by the American artist Alicia Tapp. We made a custom order for the mosaics for two walls. Other colors and materials were chosen to match the mosaic walls. Luxurious marble and glass mosaics do not stay second alongside them. A home theater has also been built in the spa, the technology required of which is hidden inside the structures. Voilà!



I also made a comprehensive plan for the bedrooms, the living room and the home theater. The end result is a stylishly atmospheric and timeless home that works both in everyday life and at special occasions.







The ground floor is the kingdom of the two teenage boys. The boys’ adjoining rooms were decorated in the same spirit. In the game / guest room, the only window is through the door to the backyard. The curtain covering the entire outer wall removes the basement-like atmosphere and creates the illusion of a larger window surface. The sliding door cabinet covering the side wall largely solved the storage problem and the mirrors bring light and a sense of space. Under the stairs, a new storage space for the boys' hockey bags was created by making a new partition wall and a door between the stairs and the toilet. Now the big bags are no longer on the way and there is no idle empty space under the stairs. Pine steps were covered with sisal mat.

In the second phase, the laundry room, the bathroom and sauna facilities were renovated. They were still in their original state, so they were in desperate need of a renovation. Dark gray tiles and dark toned panels match stylishly for the original hardwood paneling used in other areas of the house. The laundry room is next to an exciting Lapland-themed fireplace room. It is part of the original interior of the house, which is preserved as it is. The gray log walls resonate well with the gray tiles. Also the hallway and the living room were updated with new paint colors and wallpapers. The selected shades had to take into an account the original wooden ceiling surfaces as well as the existing furniture and paintings. Lighting was also improved. The next phase is the kitchen renovation - I'm looking forward to it!



The basement is built into a former garage. It includes kitchen, dining and utility areas. Stunning solid wood, black cabinetry was chosen for the kitchen. In the bathrooms, small space required careful planning. Beautiful sand-colored tiles and concealed piping make the premises not only easy to maintain, but also appear larger than they really are. The staircase was refreshed by smoothing and painting the steps white. The new sisal rug brings softness, ease of care and safety. I designed the solid railing curved so it would not be in front of the window like the former railing. The curved shape is repeated in the staircase wall as well as in the arched ceiling downstairs above the staircase.




The three-story terraced house needed refreshing after residents had lived in it for ten years. All rooms were painted, the kitchen and other fixtures, lighting, most of the furniture and all textiles were remodeled. The new kitchen features a large island, which functions also as a breakfast point for the three children. The cooker hood was recessed into the ceiling so that it did not dominate the view from the dining area. The curtains in the dining area were adapted to fit the existing dining table & chairs, which moved from the living room closer to the kitchen. The color scheme of the living room was inspired by the new magnificent Harlequin rug. The same shades are repeated in the curtains and upholstery. Beautifully dyed linen sheer curtains let in all the light but bring privacy from the neighbors. Lighting was improved with a track lighting solution with dimmable spotlights. A new working desk was placed on the other side of the large living room. Existing chests of drawers found their place next to the desk. A new bedroom for parents was built in the upstairs lobby and the family’s little princess got her own room. The children's rooms were completely redecorated. The hot water tank and laundry station in the bathroom were hidden out of sight with a curtain that can easily be pulled aside when doing laundry. It’s nicer to relax in the sauna when you don’t have to look at the laundry. The pine-paneled ceiling in the bathroom was painted in a matching tone to the floor tiles. The bathroom fixtures were also renewed during the renovation.


I changed the layout of the sauna in my design and moved the stove to a new place. A glass wall between the sauna and bathroom give a great feeling of openness and additional space in both rooms. This makes both the sauna and the bathroom feel bigger. A new partition wall with a glass top was built in the same style between the shower room and the laundry room. Dark tiles, beautifully toned ceiling panels and adjustable lighting give a luxurious feeling to the whole space.
The downstairs toilet and the upstairs bathroom were also renovated. Those werhe done with the same materials. The new wall-mounted toilet seats are stylish and easy to maintain.


The master bedroom was moved downstairs, on my recommendation, to the site of the former guest bedroom. Sufficient space was provided for it by dismantling the unnecessary storage room. It was replaced by a more functional sliding door closet. The doorway to the room was moved closer to the kitchen, that way the dining area got an intact back wall. Beautiful double doors with glass openings look as if they have always been there.
Stunning sand-colored tiles were chosen for the bathrooms and also for the floor of the hallways and kitchen. The shade blends beautifully with the natural shade of oak plank parquet. Black, oak veneered doors and beautiful sand-colored quartz countertops were chosen for the kitchen. The black kitchen brings great contrast to an otherwise light-colored interior. Black is repeated here and there in small details and furniture. Different shades of gray were used in the upholstery colors. The guest rooms upstairs were inspired by the color of old paintings, which were placed in the rooms to the delight of the guests.

The interior of the living room started off with an orange sofa that the customer had fallen in love with and ordered almost before she had bought the apartment. I had to think for a while the color against which orange looks good. I rejected gray and beige and thought something else it must be. I started looking for a wallpaper with orange details, but a freshly toned background color. A patterned wallpaper would bring life to the large intact wall surfaces of the living room. My client and I fell in love with Inkiosto Bianco's magnificent mural, which looks like it was hand-painted on the wall directly. Other furniture and lighting as well as textiles were chosen to fit the whole. I found a perfect orange vintage rug for the dining area, connecting the dining & living room areas with matching colors. The dining table was made by the customer's own father. The customer's sweet little dogs also enjoy the new home. The herringbone patterned vinyl plank floor is a carefree solution with dogs.

We ended up using fluid fiber wallpaper to allow some structural movement in the corners. They always used to get cracks in the corners every winter, but now the wallpaper is flexible enough to prevent any visible cracks. The wallpaper even has some glitter sparkles that twinkle beautifully with the new lighting.


The couple is especially fond of Japan, so that inspired me with the decor. I was delighted, as I had myself lived in Japan for a year and was found of the Japanese aesthetic.

The new owners liked a modern style with strong graphic elements and wanted to invest in high-quality materials and furniture. We chose orange as the accent color to boost the otherwise black-white-and gray -interior upstairs. It came from a Buddha-painting that the couple had acquired from Thailand.
We spiced up the downstairs rooms with turquoise and brown. We used the Marimekko-curtains for the kids’ room that they already had in the previous home. We picked the green and purple from the curtains to bring warmth to a room that is located on the north side of the house.

Her favourite colours turquoise and fuchsia spice up the otherwise pretty neutral colour palette used in the apartment. A familiar artist got free hands with the living room paintings. We ordered four mirrors for the long wall – they look like another window next to the dining table.
