WEIRD but genius THINGS IN FINNISH HOMES

What feature STOOD OUT to you the MOST!?!
The drying rack! My goodness. I cannot stand seeing wet dishes on the kitchen bench! Dishwasher is life but not everything fits 🤦♀️
Steph Davis Should we export the drying rack to North America?
The small footprint of the house and the layout of the rooms
Wow, I love that drying cabinet, never seen that before!
@@AndrikLangfield Ah really? Its great!
Anyone else hear him say “Boss’s wife” and not “Boss Wife” then start the next sentence with “Babe”? It took me a second. At first I was like “this guy has some balls.” 😂🤣 1:16
😂😂😂
Same
I thought he was calling his boss's wife babe? Lol
Same!! I was like huh?
Heard that!
I'm amazed that the clothes horse was such a novelty. They're commonplace probably in every other country. But we Irish people prefer to use an outdoor clothesline when the weather is dry, and the clothes horse when it's not.
I used a clothesline, growing up. We couldn't afford an electric dryer. Now I have a room dedicated to cleaning clothes...lol
In Argentina we do exactly the same. If weather is fine, then a clothline outdoors, and a clothe horse otherwise!
I had to google what a " clothehorse" is. Funny name.
Here in Germany we still have the "Wäschespinne"(rotary clothes dryer).
@jagfruit 1 Why is convenience a bad thing? How about you get rid of the washing machine and get a tub and a wash board. Sounds like you dislike convenience.
In Australia most of us who live in houses still have hills hoist style clothes lines and units and modern homes have the ones that attach to a wall or fence and fold down flat against that surface. We still have the fold up indoor lines like he has for rainy days and good old rope strung up between the verandah posts.
- The house looks new.
- Yeah, it was just ... finnished.
Hahahhaha dad jokes for the win!
Blorfnik 🤣
😂😂
They must of been Russian to Finnish
He's here all night, folks! 😂
guy shows drying rack in the kitchen and in the bathroom
Europeans: yeah, that's... like... how a house works...
Americans: woaaaaahhhh geniuuuss
So true. I can't believe people were surprised by this.
I have a drying rack and a dryer. I only use the drying rack in summer when I can open my patio door so it dries quicker. But the electricity is so cheap where I live in Canada, most people use their dryer.
We dont have drying racks in the kitchen lol middle European here
I was pretty amazed 🙈
@@daemmerung19 also middle European here. We do have them where I live.
I don’t understand why you don’t just dry your dishes and put them away immediately? Why do you leave them sit out?
No shoes in the house, clothes drying racks, dish racks above the sink... Are similar to Asian households... Nice house.... Thanks for sharing..
Your welcome! And thanks.
Same as most houses I"ve seen in Canada. Maybe he's been away a while. Laminate flooring has been huge for 10-20 years.
I'm from the UK and we (my family and extended family), don't wear shoes in the house either. We have carpet throughout the house and tiles in the kitchen.
Dish rack was invented by a Finnish :)
Same here in the Netherlands. My mom would beat my ass if i wear shoes inside 😂
I love the minimalism, energy efficiency, and practicality of Finnish homes/communities! The community storage space really stood out to me!
Yeah its really interesting, the houses are quite compact usually but well designed.
Unfortunately Finland is one of Europeans country with the highest consumption of energy.
@@ladybird5053 No way around it in cold climate and with heavy industry. But the consumption of energy doesn't matter, rather how it's produced.
American homes usually have a window over the kitchen sink! So a drying rack would be hard to mount and would get in the way when opening/ closing the window. But I agree; great idea!
metroteacher , Get rid of kitchen window over sink ... add good lighting and over sink drying rack!
Reseecupga No way! I’d rather have a view and a nice breeze while I do dishes! I dry my dishes in the dish washer, where they drain and I don’t have to watch them drying. Thanks for your interest.
Plus they also have racks that arch over the sink like a little bridge. No point in removing a whole ass window.
I'd so much prefer a window, so I have a nice view while doing the dishes :)
I've seen these in small American apartments where the kitchen is on an inside wall. Honestly if you have that little space that you can't have a dish rack (former tiny apartment dweller here) I'd like to introduce you to a dish towel. I'd much rather have the cabinet space.
Finland is the world's happiest country. I would love to live in Finland. Thank you for sharing your home with us.
Your welcome!
Teppo Haapoja "you're"
I wish I lived in a Japanese community in Finland with Latin friends.
Hahaha what a combo that would be!
Priti Singer so kind!
Does Japan have mild winters? If the winters are mild, I’d like to join.
And a black girlfriend for a dash of color. Finished
oh my goodness the aesthetic of that and the food would be amazing
Drying rack invented by dude without a window over the sink.
Its a good idea though
I'd rather have the window. Thanks
In places that get super cold like this its very impractical to have any water plumbing in exterior walls because it makes it much more difficult to prevent the pipes from freezing. So its very common to have the kitchen sink on an interior wall like this, in which case a window isn't an option.
Or woman... But also, I'd be afraid of my window sill rotting
Beverly F That’s a good point. All of the plumbing in our large New England home is in the same interior wall - except for the kitchen sink, which is, in fact, under a window.
I love EVERYTHING about this !!! The actual spaces, the layout, the design, the clean lines, practicality, energy efficiency, use of space and my fave: the communal aspect of the location! It definitely fosters integration, community and a collective! We need more of this. 👍🏾
🙌🙌🙌
My favorite? The communal tools! It’s so wasteful for everyone to own EVERYTHING individually.
Definitelty!
I'm not sure that it would work in the US because many people don't take proper care of tools. Maybe people there have greater respect for property.
My daughter and son-in-law live in Seattle. They have the FREE tool library where you can check out all sorts of tools - both construction and household. For example, my SIL wanted to power wash their home and he was able to borrow the tool; my daughter wanted to can some fruit and she borrowed all the canning equipment she needed. The library gets donations and they then run all of the tools and equipment through rigorous testing to make sure they work as they are supposed to. They print out manuals as well. It is a great idea!
@@tastx3142 this is just pure paranoia. Loads of places have libraries of things and it works out just fine.
Leanne L Seattle is a progressive city with many, many problems. It used to be beautiful. Sad what’s happened to it.
Here in Finland we don‘t use dryers cause we love to save energy. *throwns on the giant sauna for two*
😂😂😂
priorities... Sauna is very ingrained in Scandinavian and other northern cultures (as are sweat lodges Inuit and First Nations in Canada). Sauna followed by cold shower is very good for the cardiovascular system and keeps your body's temperature regulation system in fighting trim.
Well I live in Canada and I was taught as a child to remove my shoes when entering the house, no matter whose house it is. I don't like carpet myself, and the upkeep is expensive. Landfills are full of carpets. The best thing is that you share tools and such. Very cool.
annabodhi38 we also never wear shoes inside any homes in Canada. People also have hardwood floors.
The shoe removal custom I think is common amoung northern countries (though, I know it is also a custom in many Asian countries, too). But in Italy for instance, guests never remove shoes when visiting someone’s home. I cannot understand it at all. At my mother-in-law’s place in Italy, my husband will walk right into her living room, stepping on her beautiful carpets with his dirty shoes, and sit on the couch to remove them. And his mother thinks it’s strange that I stand by the door to remove my shoes so that I don’t track in dirt and dust from outside all throughout her house. And if we are only popping in for a few minutes, my husband won’t even bother removing them and will walk EVERYWHERE with his shoes😭. I don’t even have to clean that home but it still drives me nuts! Thankfully he has lived in both Canada and Germany for some years, so knows to never do this outside of Italy.
Same here in Washingon (state), U.S... we take our shoes off at the door to prevent mud & gravel/little rocks, from tracking in.
I'm in Minnesota, and the majority of people here do not wear shoes indoors. I'm not sure I even know anyone who allows shoes to be worn in their home. It's just too dirty outside between the snow, mud and salt-chemical mix that is on every flat surface for 6 months of the year. Besides, the way that the salt-chemical mix eats the roads and concrete, I would hate to see what it did to the floors in a home!
Emma MacDonald we do take our shoes off in my house in Italy, many of my friends do the same in their homes... but you’re right, it’s not a widespread custom in Italy. That’s weird thinking that on average Italian houses are kept very very clean 🤷♀️
i live in Florida...it's like living in a sauna from May until November....
😂😂😂😂
I know! I hate saunas because they remind me of a Florida summer.
Same problem here in Australia. 5am summer wakeup in a pool of sweat with the sun beating u with its bright light and heat. Too bad if u like a sleep in. Or a cool environment.
I can't believe I still live here..Summers are a living hell and " winters" bring very brief sporadic relief. Every yr gets worse
@@vaderladyl You can't really appreciate a sauna unless you live in an Arctic climate.
I live 1.2km away from your house 😅
HA no way!? are you kidding me?
DJFITME I just sent you a DM on instagram! We should connect.
Gotta say man, I'm jealous of all the snow you have there! Wait 'till you get to Helsinki. NADA!
Hahaha in some ways Im dreading it!
Yea Helsinki has had nothing this year and Tampere has been hit and miss. Heard last years was beautiful.
I LOVE snow, from the crisp scent in the air before it falls to the beauty of watching it and hearing the whisper of it falling to the way it looks right after it falls.
Ammonia melts ice instantly. Always have a spray bottle filled with ammonia or Windex. Turns ice on windshields into slush. You can also de-ice locks.
Sorry to be a Debbie downer but I hate the thought of these chemicals ending up on the ground then going into the garden on my plants and wildlife or into drains into the sea.
I use warm water - no harm done that way and windows are perfectly defrosted.
Nicola Nicola Rubbing alcohol will do the same thing and evaporates before hitting the ground.
I lived in Ireland for 8 years and some of those were the same. The drying rack was more like a shelf and was open, but we had a dryer. Where we live now has a dryer too and not even allowed to hang clothes outside. Problem we had is clothes smell like mould when we air dry them inside .... both places we lived. Still, love all of it. I preferred clothing that was dried outside ... smells so much better.
Interesting to hear!
On another video the person drying their clothes indoors also used a dehumidifier. Just a idea.
dear ikea, send everything.
HAHA!
E R 😁😁😁
Right now
@@duckbilledmonfrogga hahha
The drying cabinet in the kitchen 😱. Genius. Interesting house set up with the sharing your outdoor responsibilities. Beautiful home
So true!
Love the drying rack, am 100% getting one of those fitted when i own my own home!! 😍
Love the sauna!
I had one when I lived in Italy. Works great.
Drying rack above the sink, hidden in the cupboard or no - so usual in Europe... 😜
I'm a Canadian who recently found out that the family lineage on my mother's side comes from Finland - it took a long time to figure out because my mom had passed away when I was really young so I couldn't ask her, and her maiden name is super ultra rare. I'm totally with you on no shoes in the house and I'm really loving the above sink drying rack. I'd love to visit Finland but it probably won't happen in this lifetime.
Wild! Welcome to the Finnish club.
Awesome house! I'm a fellow Canadian and I don't know anyone here who keeps their shoes on inside. (And who would do that in winter?) lol
Hah i guess its more the fellow americans?
I am Canadian too, and everyone takes their shoes off.
well, i think that's logical, in my apartment i have slippers different sizes, for everyone who comes in, can wear it.
Came here to say the same. I live in Quebec and winter or summer no one wears shoes inside. Not even visitors. A lot of tiles, laminate and especially hardwood floor.
I think it’s a west coast thing because as an Albertan it was unheard of/rude to leave shoes on. My SO is from the lower mainland BC (we live here now), and so many ppl here leave their shoes on, and it rains a lot here! It’s gross and dirty, imo.
Very clean, monochromatic, orderly, nice. Canadians take off their shoes when they enter a home too. I thought most people did. Nothing makes me cringe more than seeing people wearing shoes while lying on their bed or on their couch.
That drying rack is GENIUS!!
Sure is Amy!
Who else lives in a tropical climate where literally none of these things would work? Mold is real y'all.
😂😂😂 where you from?
I live in VA and in the spring and summer....yikes!
Me! I live in Puerto Rico!
Humidity is the price to pay for our year long beach weather in the Caribbean

Lol, I misunderstood him calling his “boss wife” for saying his boss’s wife. Then I was like “you call your boss’s wife babe?!”
Yikes 😂😂😂
What I love about finland is the "jokamiehen oikeus". I cant imagine how claustrophobic it is to live in a place which dont have that.
Also good roads.
Rope Setä Agreed!
YEA!!! I love that jokeaminute thing my self.
It means “everyman’s rights” and by law people are allowed to walk in the countryside anywhere, even if it is owned by someone else. You are allowed to pick berries and mushrooms and enjoy nature, but it is bad manners to exercise these rights close to someone’s home. You can even camp on someone else’s property.

Provided you are responsible and respectful and don't take all the fruit and don't leave the property in shambles.
Antonina MacNeish and ask permission to build a campfire.
I grew up where clothes dryers were rare, but I moved to the states and they are normal here. Now dishwasher, garbage disposal and dryer are my three must have appliances. My mother came to stay with us and while she was initially skeptical she is 100% sold on the "appliance trifecta" and working on getting them back home. Clothes, especially sheets and towels, are much nicer out of dryer, and I have noticed zero damage - I do use a small drying rack for delicates.
The drying rack is BRILLIANT!!! I’m commenting at the same time I’m watching, I love it that much!
Hahah thats awesome!
"Finnish people are very energy saving"... 20 seconds later. "Every home, every apartment has a sauna" 🤦♂️
😂😂😂
Being a Canadian with a Swedish hereditary, I would love to have a sauna. I was born & grew up in Thunder Bay, Canada, which was said to have the largest community of Finlanders outside of Finland! I know many homes that have one in the basement, and a person can warm up without cranking up the heat in the whole house. Then you can get into bed & be warm for the rest of the night. Of course, when I was younger, I did the sauna to snow thing too. I worked in a seniors nursing home with many Finnish residents. They didn't think a person was really clean without a sauna/steambath, and the Finnish community installed 2 of them in the nursing home.
That's exactly what I thought when watching the video 🤦♂️ 🙂
Sauna doesn't count. Sauna is sacred.
@@vtupakkokirjautuu Sauna still uses electricity
Hi from Missouri: I've had a lot of drying racks in my time. Put a fan blowing on the rack and the clothes will dry a lot faster. I live in an apartment. I love to have a carport like that, I hate clearing the snow from my car and it gets so hot in the summer the steering wheel will burn your hands after sitting in the sun. However, I like the fact that the apartment complex takes care of the mowing and clearing the snow from the sidewalk. I'm a senior citizen, I don't want to do lawn maintenance. The name of your complex sounds like a native North American word. I've never used a sauna, but, the idea of sitting in a hot closet doesn't appeal to me.
Interesting tips!
Sauna is the must also when it is very hot and sweaty day. Just sit in a hotter sauna for a while, take a nice shower and you feel cooler at once. Sound weird but it works like a charm. Earlier we had a drying machine in our laundry room but once I read how much it uses electricity I sold it away and my husband installed drying lines in our laundry room above doors so we dont need a rack for clothes. In the summertime I dry clothes outside.
I think this guy either had a pampered life growing up or was not observant on home living until he moved to Finland. Well, he knows now.
Rich Vanatte i have to agree. The drying rack in the kitchen and shared tools is one thing but the rest is probably used in half the cities all over the world. Gotta wonder where hes been locked up lol
So far I love the idea of the drying rack, we always have dishes on the counter and I hate it.
You should build it :)
I dry my dishes with rags and put it away.
My favorite thing is the sauna! I’m in the USA and the if you have a sauna in your house, you are rich
Interesting!
The absence of color would drive me mad--no relief indoors or out! But I do like the sharing shed and the drying shelves.
Agreed, it’s so... cold.
You can still design your own house 🤷♀️
Agree. I appreciate minimalism in all it's aspects but the lack of colour. Colors don't take up space
Sharing tools etc is a great way in interact with neighbors and to establish a sense of community. Great idea.
☘️🌝🌲
I love that neighbors share tools. That is so good for the earth, and your camaraderie!
Definitely!
Hi from Canada. My son made me the best laundry drying rack. It pulls up into the ceiling of the laundry room. The pulleys are hidden away and it has four sturdy metal tubes to hold the clothes on hangers. We run an extraction fan to help dry the clothes. I love it. We had been contemplating though something like your kitchen drying rack but my sink doesn’t have cupboards over it. So I think your set up is a great idea.
Drying cupboard is the best invention for sure 😮😀
Indeed! I always forget its not a worldwide thing
I’m Western Australian, I’ve never even seen snow.
Crazy! Never in your life?
Teppo Haapoja never and I’m 46 years old. It doesn’t snow in Western Australia, it’s too hot!
I was born in New Caledonia. I was nine years old before I first saw hoarfrost and snow in France.
I remember my father scraping built-up ice out of the freezer, putting it into a pile and telling me & my brother that snow was like that. Close but no cigar.
The drying cabinet is genius! Love the layout of your home. Perfect size. Beautifully decorated and minimal. My style.
I love the way they use the cupboard dish rack over the sink. Cool.
🙌🙌🙌
You have sauna in your home!!
I’m surprised you don’t use dryer. In Malaysia we don’t usually use dryer because our clothes dry within a day or 2.
The rack cabinet is genius! Unfortunately most of the homes have the basin in front of the window, so no chance for a cabinet.
The sharing of tools is a neat idea.
Another thing that fascinates me is your apartment is single storey within a compound. Usually our apartments are multi-storey skyscrapers, garage underground, and sometimes no garden.
Thanks for sharing, it’s very eye-opening
What a great drying rack! Never seen anything like that before
Ha really? I always assume its normal
Haha I mean the drying rack for dishes not clothing. Although both are smart designs
and I never want to see one again! Give me my dryer or give me death! Some famous guy said that once I think.
You can buy laundry racks everywhere they sell housewares in Italy as well, they are inexpensive, everybody has them, electricity is so expensive over there that it makes sense to have them and often more than one
They come in a variety of sizes and features, when you buy kitchen cabinets the basic rack comes standard but you can customize the rack to fit your needs. Another feature of European kitchens is invisible built in refrigerators.
Can't talk now, I'm packing for my move to Finland! LOL! I love that rack!
Come on over!
bellesmom2012 Just remember the length of Finnish winters. 😉 Does seem like a cool, organized, practical country, though, doesn’t it?🇨🇦
the apartments I would rent in Russia always had the drying rack over the sink in the cabinet and a clothes hanging rack like that, rarely would you score a washing machine that drys too. we also had and instant hot water tap so you wouldn't have to boil a kettle, that's Luxury. nice place though, very functional,
Good stuff Russia!
Love the kitchen drying rack idea! I may try that in my next kitchen re-do. The clothes drying rack...not so much. LOL. Yes, to the sauna!! Thanks for sharing your lovely home with us!
I'm a fellow Canuck and I don't allow anyone inside my house with their shoes. Love the cupboard drying rack. I think the Finns are rubbing off on you in the way you say "sauna" but you definitely still have the Cdn "eh" in you! Great video.
Haha thanks Suzanne
So the energy saved from not having a dryer is used in the Sauna? The drying cabinet is a great idea.
Yasmin Naik kind of: many people put the clothes in the sauna on the rack to dry using the afterheat so it’s a way of both getting the Sauna and your clothes dry ;)
I can't bare the heat. I hate saunas lol
@@annarehbinder7540 - Awesome!!
@@jeanlafrance8746 I'm with you. I hate the heat, but add humidity to the mix and I feel like I'm suffocating. I'll take a hot shower or tub soak, followed by the warmth of the wood stove any day. It WOULD make a great dryer (without the steam), tho! 😉
@Lola Montez I cannot imagine drying my towels and my comforter on a rack in the winter or on rainy days, It takes FOREVER!
Sharing objects is something I’ve always thought was vital but nobody does that in North America, that I know of. Sharing the lawn mower, tools, even microscopes and so many other objects so that every single person doesn’t have to own it is an idea that I’ve finally seen done in real life, thanks to you. Thanks!
We have solid wood floors in all the rooms downstairs in our home in the UK too but upstairs we have carpets in the bedrooms - my wife love the drying rack so I feel a kitchen make over coming on now she has seen this plus we are having a garden room built so if my wife wants the drying rack I am going to ask for the sauna 😀
Nice Hieth!
@@TeppoHaapoja Yeah thanks for teasing my wife with the drying rack idea I now need to find a kitchen supplier that makes them in the UK ? Take care cheers H
UK homes a tiny by with - but large by height - that's a challenge
@@martynas.6649 Usually yes but it depends on your layout we have also knocked down all the walls and have an open plan home with a large extension downstairs :)
It's a huge No No to wear shoes in Hawaii homes too. I love the kitchen drying rack idea. Genius! And every home has a sauna? That would be a luxury item here. Thanks for the tour.
Oh man your from Hawaii!? Thats awesome.
That drying cupboard is so clever. Not sure I could cope without a tumble dryer with a family but clothes drying racks are common in the UK too. We have one that is permanently installed and winches up into a space above our stairs and I can dry big things up out of the way. In English the car washing thing is called a Pressure washer and the open sided garage is called a carport.
Ha it is a guilty pleasure those dryers
We call those ‘carports’.
Love the community sharing you have!
Yes. We have them in the USA. Some are attached to the building, and some aren't.
And the other thing is a pressure washer.
These shots were from this room: [BLACK SCREEN] Love you Teppo! great vid! How can i build a sauna in my house?
HA we made a mistake :D
Miss you bro!
Wait, I am from Canada and always remove shoes when entering a home...in any country. Why would you consider that odd?
I've met people who don't and it's so weird unless the outdoor shoes are switched for indoor shoes. (There are health reasons for that one)
I'm also a Canuck, and when I visited Japan a few years back it was already habit to take my shoes off upon entering. My American friend, however? Yeah, not so easy for him!
it's not common in Brazil and I guess in a lot of other warm places
It's considered rude in a lot of cultures here in South Africa.
@@ampz1466 rude to remove shoes or rude not to?
Living in the US. We have all hardwood floors. Clothes dryers. The dishwasher washes and dries all the dishes. We own all our own tools or pay someone to mow our lawns. We have basements or garages that are attached to our homes because that just makes sense. Cheers!
Great video! It's very interesting to see other cultures and how they adapt to their environment. I live in NYC + many apts are tiny with no counter space in kitchen. I absolutely love the dish drying rack in the cabinet over the sink. Genius! And can't lie wouldn't mind having a sauna in my apt as well 🥰 I also love Scandinavian design aesthetic, so clean, modern, uncluttered. Thank you for sharing!
Different cultures are definitely interesting!
The shared tool shed: now THAT is a great feature, well done Finland!
Nice video--thanks. Many of the features of your community remind me of the co-housing developments here in the US and in other countries. More and more we are beginning to understand the importance of community in our lives. That will be the silver lining of this awful pandemic.
🙌🙌🙌
Im American and most folks i know that lives in apartments use drying racks for their their clothes and home owners have clothes lines in their backyards. No one wants to run a clothes dryer in the summer
Yeah, he has got some weird ideas about North America. I am in Canada and most homes have either laminate or hardwood flooring.
Angela Clark I’ve only ever lived in US and yes I do run my dryer every day. The clothes turn out softer, esp towels, the ironing is less. It’s faster and nit in the way like a rack. And with six kids I would
Have racks everywhere. That would be a pain in the butt.
I think it depends on the climate. Where I’m at stuff would get moldy before they would dry. It’s too humid (but not necessarily hot) in certain parts of the US.
How do you dry clothes when there’s daily thunderstorms and 90% humidity? Oh because America is huge and Florida isn’t the same as Arizona.
I think that really varies by location and income. I lived in a very middle class suburban neighborhood on the East coast, and nobody had a clothesline. But if you drove out to the country and looked behind the farm houses you'd often see them
In a carport like yours, with a roof and 3 walls, the wind doesn't reach your windshield hardly at all, ergo no frost. Here in Alberta Canada, if there are less walls in the carport, and wind that is humid blows on your windshield, you'll still get frost to scrape from the windows. So the less walls in your carport = more likely to get frost on the windows. Some of us put extra ceraminc heaters on our dashboards or just on the floor and turn it on about a half hour before we want to go somewhere, or longer depending on the temperature levels outside. If it's -40C or lower, we'll have a block heater turned on for sure, and possibly an electric blanket heater for the battery, plus a ceramic heater to keep the windows ice free, and we'll remote start the vehicle every 4 hours to ensure it will remain warm enough to function. In temperatures like that all sorts of vehicle issues can crop up, like cracked power steering lines, dead batteries, frozen oil, frozen brake fluids!
Yikes Alberta sounds cold!
What I loved was the sharing aspect via the tool shed and it's contents. Reminded me of St Kilda off the coast of Scotland where everything was communual. So admire the Scandanavian countries for their ssnse of community and looking out for one aonther. England could learn a lot............ Happy to. Always at the top of the 'Happiness Polls' unlike the UK and US. Speaks volumes. A model that truly works for the majority.
Helen Bennett we definitely need to still get way better at community!
I was waiting for you to show the toilet shower... now that’s genius!
Every time I travel to Finland, I find it everywhere; hotels, school restrooms, apartments...
Fins have the cleanest bums in Europe 👍🏼
Clever way to hide drying dishes. Hassle setting up a clothes drying rack that stands in the way in the bathroom. Cognitive dissonance.
It's in a separate room so I don't think it's in the way
@@Laura-yi8yt It's in the middle of the bathroom, right in front of what appears to be the sink/toilet area.That is in the way.
Nancy Kavanagh No, he said “laundry room.” It looks like the shower is in line with the washer (from left to right: shower, cabinet, washer, and closet). Perpendicular to the shower is the sauna entrance. If having a shower there means it’s a “bathroom” to you, well, whatever floats your boat, but he didn’t call it a bathroom.
@@schisandra He called it a laundry/shower room. In the US, a room where you clean yourself, even if it's in a shower, would be called a bathroom, as would a toilet room. Just fyi.
i prefer the korean/asian style where it is built into a cabinet so easier to fold out + hide, or the type that pulls down from the ceiling. 💗🏡🌏
First time viewer to your channel. I'm an aspiring interior designer and I loved the elements you highlighted. I'm hoping to incorporate the drying closet in my new kitchen now!
Thanks Shilo! And welcome.
What a fun tour of your home! I’m a realtor and have never seen a sauna in a home! But then I live in the southern part of the US and it’s HOT here most of the year! I love the drying rack above the sink, very good idea. Not sure I would be willing to give up my dryer though! I also like the shared responsibility of yard work. I guess as long as everyone does their share of the work.
Thy drying kitchen drying cabinet is the best ever invention that every house in the world should have
Yes! I once thought about a sharing store because my husband has so many tools and I realize that when we needed a anything different, some neighbour would have plenty of that and it was a waste having to buy dozens of screws to utilise just one or two. But people here are very childish and can't share. Also some would take everything and never return. So I guess i got to move to another coumtry! 😏
Drying racks are great, have them on the Spanish islands as well.
We have them in the states.
we have them in Canada, but most people prefer to have a window over the sink and look outside.
Cool!! I'm from Texas, so that's pretty different living.
We wear shoes inside where I live, don't like stepping on scorpions!
Cool, same as Aussie new homes and renovations these days, all pale powder greys, white walls, wood laminate floors. Not as much dark anymore tho. All light bright and clean lines.
I was about to rant that any European home has it exactly like that, but then he brought out the freaking SAUNA
😂😂😂😂 gotcha!
@@TeppoHaapoja you people are full of surprises 😄
I'd probably put my clothes to dry in the sauna...
The car being under shelter the way it is would help stop moisture from building up on the windscreen -
no moisture = no ice
Thankful for that!
The word’s you’re looking for: pressure washer and carport!
Ah those are the ones ;)
The woman who works with me went crazy for your dish rack cabinet! Really an elegant solution.
🙌🙌🙌
I love your complex, it made me realize how much I appreciate parking inside a garage then walking through a door directly into my house. I live in Los Angeles, it's never nearly as cold as it is for you guys, I've only seen snow 3 times in my life and I'm 40 years old, I don't typically have to warm up my car that much but I do have to cool it down which I'm sure you can't imagine having to do, I've had to drive with gloves because the steering wheel is too hot and so is the gear shift so you end up with burned hands. We also have really hot summers, last year it was 120° Fahrenheit or 48° Celsius, during the summer, the coldest day was 39° F / 3.8° C. Your country seems to have so much to offer and I'd love to visit, unfortunately my body cannot handle the cold very well ,it becomes extremely painful for me. I love your video and I will definitely be watching more.
Insane!
What lovely apartments, ooh loved the Sauna, drying rack (brill!) as my kitchen always looks a mess with pots drying and of course just everything. I could definitely live here and not UK :( Thank you so much. Julie
I've always used clothes drying racks or clothes line in my U.S. homes all my life, along with a dryer. We dry most of our clothes on racks, but use the dryer for underwear, towels & bedding.
Yeah thats what Id do as well in Canada!
I'm lazy, I still want my dryer.
hahaha I understand your feelings!
Also the fluffy towels.
Sameee lol
Ha ha ha 😂 me too
I stayed in Denmark for 2 months and dried my clothes on the racks provided. A lot of my clothes lost their shape and got scratcy. I'll always love a dryer.
LOVE THE DRYING RACK IDEA
Its great eh!?
An easy way to keep ice off the windsheild is to put cardboard over it, held down by the wipers. Its ugly but it beats having to wait to warm the car to loosen that ice.
Thank god you had drying rack in this video. It's weird that most other countries still haven't adopted this simple thing.
Haha thanjs Jyrki!
People have had them in the past. They went out of practical fashion in most homes in the 20s and 30s in America. IKEA sells them as Scandinavians still like them. Most modern homes that are not farm or rural homes here in America no longer display their dishes that way. Right or wrong it just is. Modern families don't cook as much or use a dishwasher or whatever but it is not a thing people look for in their kitchens. How often is a big fuss made over a dish drying rack on HGTV? Most people also use dryers but if you live in a socialist country then maybe you have more time to slowly dry your clothes and then iron them and then dry your dishes like pioneers and then take a sauna. Well, good for you in your little MDF board house full of unnatural materials. I live in a house built in 1892 of natural materials and in a rural northern area and I am of Scandinavian heritage but sorry to say your life there looks sorta boring and wimpy. 😂😂😂
I always store my dishes immediately after I wash them. I don’t see the logic in having an extra cabinet just to store your freshly washed dishes. I think that’s just taking extra space
I love that your residence shares tools!! There is really no need to own so many things that you probably use once a year, so why not share with your neighbours? Lovely.
The drying cupboard is a clever idea, I’ve never seen that before but as for the drying rack we call it an airer in the uk. Lots of clothes aren’t tumble dryable so it’s essential in winter when you can’t put the washing outside on the washing line. It drives me mad when on holiday in the USA when there is nowhere to dry clothes. And a tumble dryer in good weather is a terrible waste of energy too!
The dish drying rack above the sink is great! I don't much like dryers either, apart from drying towels so they get soft & fluffy :D
🙌🙌🙌
Nice video! Most modern homes in states have hardwood floors too. Love the drying dish rack in cupboard and sauna. But give me my clothes dryer!!
No clothes dryer to save money and energy but a full size sauna?
I've tried drying all my clothes with a drying rack when my dryer was broken. HELL NO! Clothes hanging everywhere...rough and crunchy towels and washcloths.
hahahaha the irony of it all!
Shawn Cezanne perhaps you haven’t acknowledged the health benefits of a sauna? I live in Australia where a lot of the year it’s really hot, but the benefits of my sauna on my broke ass budget are priceless. And I’m not sure why you would criticise Teppo on energy consumption whilst you yourself are advocating using dryers… just a little hypocritical... just sayin’. 😏
I agree. I have a small portable dryer and I love it. I air dry most clothes in the summer, but always use the dryer for towels and washcloths. I hate crunchy towels!
Clothes dryer is a common thing in finnish homes, but electricity is very expensive here.
If a finnish person have to choose between the sauna and clothes dryer, the choise will be the sauna :)
We have the dryer too, but we mostly use the rack, especially in summer.
I also use wood heated sauna so i can save electricity that way too.
@@trumpjongun8831 do you wrap the crunchy towels about yourself, during or after the sauna?
We also in Iraq do not wear shoes inside our homes, by the way, I liked the idea of drying rack I'll make it in my kitchen in future
You guys are wise!
I love the drying rack over the sink!
🙌🙌🙌
It's set up a lot like an Asian style home. Very simple clean and beautiful!!
Thank you Heather!
@@TeppoHaapoja my first time watching your videos.
I've lived in Sweden. Their homes are virtually the same.
Yes they are our bigger brother!
@Lola Montez Hygge is Danish. And everyone's taste is different so no need to get upset.
I was looking something new, but then realised that it is the same as in Estonia :D Just without snow :/
Continue with the good editis!
ffiisshyy Haha oh no! Wish u got some snow.
Make a video of Estonia house!!! I would love to see it xx
@@TeppoHaapoja, we have snow in Estonia now (already starting to melt, though). :)
@@TeppoHaapoja similar in Latvia. Except the Sauna is not so common, but in older days every house had a sepereate building of sauna in garden.
Also sharing things is quite interesting, In Latvia 99% someone would just steal it or break it and then say - no, it wasn't me :D
I love the practicality! Dish Rack ... I'm on it. :-). Hello from here to there ... 🇺🇸
🙌🙌🙌
The name you were searching for is a pressure washer. Great video. Nooooo idea how to live with so little stuff. I should come and do a minimalism retreat. * Secretly thinking there's an insanely crammed closet somewhere that will explode when the door is opened after the video is finished * 😂
Thats the word!
Hahahhahahahaa our closests are quite full for sure 😂
