Home Made - Secrets To Timeless Interiors

Homemade, Secrets to Timeless Interiors reveals an interior designer’s secrets behind 14 beautifully executed homes in Finland. It’s all about striking a balance — whether a row house in the north, a seventies beauty in the suburbs, a holiday home on the coast, a studio apartment in the city, or an old wooden villa in the countryside. How to make the most of space with its residents in mind? The home should reflect its owner, favoring individual colours, finishes, and furnishings. At the same time, functionality must always be ensured. Any updates should be carried out with timeless elements: refurbishments are needed from time to time, but they should tie in with the original style.

This book provides practical guidance for designers and homeowners alike, offering insights on layout, light, materials, and lasting design choices. You’ll discover how to balance personality with practicality, choose finishes that endure, and create spaces that feel authentic to the people who live in them. Each featured home demonstrates how timeless elements can be integrated across diverse settings—from urban apartments to rural villas—without sacrificing style or comfort.

Key themes include: thoughtful proportion and flow, the harmony of colours and textures, durable furnishings, and the subtle art of updates that respect an existing aesthetic. Whether you’re renovating a single room or reimagining an entire residence, this book guides you toward interiors that remain relevant and inviting across generations.
