Breezy All-White Apartment by Laura Seppänen

The latest interior design project by Laura Seppänen Design Agency, this minimalistic but cosy two-bedroom apartment in Helsinki belongs to Stina Mäntyniemi, the head of Cosmopolitan Finland. Her wish was for a clean and monochrome interior without carpets or curtains, along with her one must have piece – the Bertoia chair!

Laura carried out all of the interior design including the kitchen and hallway renovation, along with the furnishing and final styling. Paper-white colour has been used for the walls, floors and ceilings throughout, creating a clean canvas for layering high quality furniture and a warm mix of natural materials. Although in relatively good shape, the existing kitchen has been modernised with small changes such as the replacement of cabinet doors, sink and faucet and the painting of handles in a contrasting matt black. Unsurprisingly, one of client’s favourite features is the Carrara marble which provides the space with texture and a touch of luxury.

Laura has combined the client’s existing furniture with a mix of new pieces carefully selected from Finland and abroad. This effortless blend of Scandinavian design classics with newer Nordic brands has resulted in a stylish home with plenty of personality and charm.
