Tonal texture and a precise palette make this study in Scandinavian sophistication sing. Designed as a guest retreat for longtime clients, every exquisite detail underscores the harmonious aesthetic: for instance, the creamy, diaphanous drapes lining the kitchen, dining and living room feature flecks of red, making the understated fixture enlivening up close. Once dark with dated woodwork and heavy textiles, the ranch house now feels transformed into a peaceful, contemporary refuge. By applying a syncopated program of warm whites and grays paired with oak and walnut paneling, the home feels cohesive. Custom oak cabinetry and a sleek quartz countertops make the kitchen feel both calming and culinarily conducive. Meanwhile pops of color—expressed in accent textiles and original artwork—distinguish the bedrooms. Even the sculptural chandelier hanging above the custom pool table makes for an unexpectedly artistic moment out of entertainment.
