Summer Furnishing and Interior Design.
Why Summer Matters in Finnish Interior Design
Summer in Finland is more than just a season, it’s a celebration of brightness, simplicity, and renewal. With long daylight hours and a vibrant connection to nature, this is the ideal time to refresh your living space. Whether you're settling into a new home or just ready to lighten things up, summer offers the perfect backdrop for a redesign.
KEJA works with individuals and families across Finland to bring seasonal design principles to life. If you’re looking to create a light, calm, and welcoming space without the stress of doing it all yourself, we’re here to help.
1. Let the Light In
The Finnish summer is known for its natural light, and the more you embrace it, the better your space will feel.
Concrete Tips:
Swap heavy curtains for sheer or linen fabrics to let in soft daylight.
Keep windows clear of large furniture or bulky accessories.
Use reflective surfaces like mirrors or light-toned furniture to bounce light around your space.
Consider removing dark or heavy decor that absorbs light and makes rooms feel smaller.
At KEJA, we help clients arrange rooms to maximize natural light, especially in compact apartments where brightness makes a big difference.
2. Lighten Up Your Color Scheme
Summer is the time to move away from deep, moody colors and opt for tones that feel airy and uplifting.
Fresh Color Ideas:
Walls: Soft whites, pale greys, or muted sage
Textiles: Linen in sand, sky blue, or pastel yellow
Accents: Natural wood tones, terracotta pots, or ceramic decor
When KEJA puts together furnishing packages, we consider your preferred style and recommend seasonally appropriate palettes that create a relaxing but stylish mood—from minimalist Nordic to more eclectic summer vibes.
3. Bring Nature Indoors
One of the easiest ways to make your home feel like summer is to blur the line between inside and out.
Natural Decor Tips:
Add leafy plants like monstera, spider plants, or low-maintenance herbs.
Use wood, rattan, jute, and other natural materials in your furniture and decor.
Display fresh wildflowers, birch branches, or grasses in simple vases for a Finnish cottage feel.
KEJA frequently includes these elements in our design recommendations, especially for people new to Finland who want their home to reflect the local aesthetic and lifestyle.
4. Make the Most of Outdoor Spaces
Even a small balcony can become your personal retreat during the summer months.
Outdoor Furnishing Suggestions:
Choose foldable, weather-resistant furniture for flexibility.
Add planters with lavender, mint, or summer flowers like pelargonium.
Use string lights, solar lanterns, or candles to create a warm evening atmosphere.
Opt for outdoor rugs and textiles to soften the space.
KEJA offers optional balcony furnishing support with every package whether you want something minimal and practical or lush and cozy.
5. Declutter for Simplicity
Finnish homes celebrate functionality and calm. Summer is a great time to streamline your space and bring in fresh energy.
Simple Decluttering Actions:
Store or donate thick winter blankets, rugs, and dark-toned textiles.
Invest in closed storage (like sideboards or benches) to hide off-season clutter.
Use baskets, trays, and open shelves to organize essentials in an aesthetic way.
For newcomers or busy professionals, KEJA’s turnkey furnishing service ensures your home is functional and clutter-free from day one. We design, source, deliver, and assemble everything so you can just move in and start enjoying summer.
