Hello, I’m Karen

I’m an interior designer with over 20 years of experience and the person behind Okos Koti.

I’ve always been fascinated by homes—not because they have to look perfect, but because I know how much they affect the way we feel. I love walking into a room and instantly spotting little changes that could make it feel calmer, brighter, cosier or simply work better.

I graduated with a BA (Hons) in Interior Design before later studying Holistic Interior Design, but I’ve never stopped learning. Over the years I’ve become fascinated by everything that influences how a home feels, from layout and lighting to nature, Feng Shui, wellbeing and even astrology.

I’m currently studying with the London School of Astrology after spending more than 30 years exploring it as a personal passion. I love discovering connections between people, their homes and the rhythms of everyday life.

Okos Koti is where all of those interests come together.

It’s a place to share ideas, inspiration and practical advice that helps you create a home you genuinely enjoy living in—without feeling like you need an unlimited budget or a complete renovation.

I believe good design isn’t about following trends. It’s about creating a home that feels like you.

Whether you’re here for inspiration, looking for fresh ideas, or just curious about seeing your space from a different perspective, I’m so glad you’ve found your way here.

I can’t wait to help you fall in love with your home.
