The Housing Fair is the best way to get a glimpse into the current trends in one go.
Kitchens are still large and a lot of effort had been put into them at the Fair. Most were still open kitchens, but separate L-shaped kitchens are also gaining in popularity.
Black was still the favourite colour for kitchens at the Tuusula Housing Fair. Light wood is now often combined with black in many houses, which lightens up the atmosphere.

There were a few colourful kitchens at the Fair — a beautiful grey-green colour or a door the colour of blueberries were some of the distinctive choices.

Finns still prefer white kitchens, but it was refreshing to see how wood — particularly oak, birch and walnut — shone through at the Fair.

The pantry is cleverly placed under the stairs as was the habit in the old Finnish detached houses called rintamamiestalo.

Stone worktops came in light patterned quartz, limestone and terrazzo. We also saw dark worktops with large patterns.
