JÄRVEKÜLA TOWNHOUSE

When designing a home for a young family, the main goal was to create a comfortable and functional Scandinavian-style living environment, enriched with color, greenery, and thoughtfully selected interior elements. Since the client reached out to the interior designer at an early stage of construction, there was greater flexibility to adjust the layout and electrical plan. For example, the kitchen island was removed and an additional wall was added, helping to create much-needed cabinet space. As a result, the kitchen became significantly more spacious and space-efficient.

In the 130-square-meter home, strong emphasis has been placed on functionality, supported by custom-made furniture designed specifically to suit the unique characteristics of the space. All built-in furniture was produced to order based on detailed drawings, and bespoke solutions can be found throughout the interior. For instance, the living room sofa—positioned at the heart of the space—was custom-designed to meet the family’s needs and features an interesting U-shaped form. The unusually colorful TV composition for a Nordic interior, as well as the children’s room furnishings, were ordered from Italy.

While Nordic interiors can sometimes feel a bit cool due to their monochromatic nature, here the Scandinavian style has been interpreted in a more playful and vibrant way. Classic Nordic greys, whites, and natural wood tones are paired with olive green and ochre yellow accents. Black elements add a subtle touch of Japandi influence.

Textiles play a key role in defining the color palette of the interior—rugs, curtains, and upholstery fabrics are allowed to shine against a neutral Nordic backdrop. Even bolder color combinations can be found in the children’s room, where contrasting tones engage in a lively dialogue.

A particularly interesting detail is the wooden slatted blind composition created in front of the kitchen windows. Inspired by both wabi-sabi and industrial styles, it helps visually merge the kitchen furniture with the windows into one cohesive whole.
