Cover Story

Winner of Kodinhaltija Awards 2025

The Kodinhaltija Award in the interior design field, established by Tapio Anttila in 2024, was awarded for the second time. The jury unanimously selected Cover Story as the recipient of the 2025 Kodinhaltija Award. Cover Story has been working diligently for five years on the color schemes of our homes. Accepting the award was Cover Story's CEO, Anssi Jokinen.

Cover Story has updated home coloring for the new millennium, offering people an easier, more inspiring, and more responsible alternative. They have transformed home painting into interior design – no longer just renovation. "Interior design should be easy and straightforward, and we want to help people decorate with colors. That’s why our innovative color palettes, paints, and painting supplies can be effortlessly delivered to your home with just a few clicks," explains Cover Story’s operating philosophy.

As a pioneer of a new direction, Cover Story perfectly embodied the values highlighted behind this recognition. The jury was unanimous in selecting the award recipient, and the reasoning for their choice was easy to summarize:

"Colors create atmosphere in a home. The right colors also honor the history of the space and the building. Cover Story’s paints take both aspects into account. Additionally, their plastic-free composition promotes high-quality indoor air and simultaneously represents a commitment to a more responsible future," stated the jury’s rationale.
