Nest: Interiors tips from Lilli Toukolehto

David Parker November 19, 2014

Lilli Toukolehto jointly owns interior and lifestyle shop and café Moko Market & Café in Helsinki (www.moko.fi/en) with her sister. By layering fabric and being unafraid of colour, Lilli has given her Helsinki apartment real personality. Turn to page 90 of November’s The Simple Things for the full home tour, or read on for Lilli’s top style tips.

LILLI’S STYLE
1. Don’t be afraid of colour, I love to mix rich crimsons and pinks with yellows and purples – the combination always lifts my spirits.

2. You can never have enough cushions. I am always buying and making more so that I can change them from season to season to freshen up my interior scheme.

3. Keep an eye open for neglected furniture. If it was well made, it will have a good, solid frame and can be reupholstered.

4. Display mirrors and pictures in groups to  create an area of interest.

5. Mix furniture and other pieces from different eras: the joy of vintage is that it works across the decades.

The Simple Things

Taking time to live well

We celebrate slowing down, enjoying what you have, making the most of where you live, enjoying the company of of friends and family, and feeding them well. We like to grow some of our own vegetables, visit local markets, rummage for vintage finds, and decorate our home with the plunder. We love being outdoors and enjoy the satisfaction that comes with a job well done.
