A lot of the Finnish design doesn't change much over time and the new houses and apartments are essentially cookie-cutter homes with little differentiation between. But, if one is willing to plan and take a few risks, the older houses offer a lot more option for variation and can be reimagined into beautiful spaces with each being unique.
The most serious flaw of most of the new flats that are being built is the lack of space to dry your clothes in and the lack of storage space. Living rooms and foyers tend to be too large at the expense of the bedrooms. There is no lack of space in our house but even in it the utility room is almost too small to dry clothes on a rack in it. One rack can be squeezed in but two is too much. An electric dryer is a possibility but those things tend to do damage to the clothes.
Yes! It is like people are expected to use a dryer and own no more than two pairs of underwear.
The issue with the old houses (imo) is the small windows that keep places a bit dark. I know why it was done, but it is something that I would change if I could.
There is no choice but to work around it with interior colour choices and lighting.
Yep, this is what we were discussing at dinner.
Mirrors reflect almost 100% of the light hitting on them. Better than even white.
That'll be fine for the bedroom!
Ceiling? :)
ceiling, bedhead, walls... :D
