About This Design

Warm Scandinavian

We designed this space around the tension between warmth and restraint that defines Scandinavian interiors. The walnut slatted stair tower anchors the room with natural texture, while the white built-in shelving and gas fireplace keep the atmosphere light and airy.

Design Tip

Using a slatted wood partition instead of a solid wall lets light flow through while still defining zones. Space the slats 2 to 3 inches apart so the effect reads as texture from a distance but stays open up close.

Spatial Approach

The stair tower is positioned to divide the living area from the staircase without closing off the room. The built-in shelving on the opposite wall balances the visual weight of the dark walnut, keeping the layout symmetrical.

Best For

This layout suits a narrow townhouse or two-story open plan where the staircase would otherwise interrupt the living space. The slatted partition creates a feature moment while directing foot traffic naturally.
