Made for home book

Made into a home dives deeper than the surface into the renovation of 14 homes and leisure apartments through the eyes of an interior designer. How to bring out the best aspects of the apartment and make the residents happy. How to get the most out of the square footage of the apartment for the needs of this family?

Every home is different and special. The changes made must be carried out with timeless elements and be able to link to the era of the building's completion. Whether the desk is a terraced house in Oulu, a beauty from the 1970s in eastern Helsinki, a holiday apartment in Hanko, a central studio apartment in a stone house or a tsarist-era log villa in Mäntyharju, it's all about finding a balance. Renovations must be made, but the style can be preserved.

The best end result comes from trust between the client and the designer. You should make your home suitable for you - that is, without exception, prefer personal solutions in colors, surfaces and furniture. New acquisitions are always made to fit alongside old ones, fine-tuning comes from combining materials. You also have to take responsibility for functionality.

Anna-Kaisa Melvas, who grants a fifteen-year style guarantee, lists her unfailing color and material tips and reveals the best places for interior design finds. The interior designer became an entrepreneur only twenty years after graduating. The previous eighteen years as an interior design editor gave me an excellent perspective on Finnish interior design.
