Storage

Poured concrete stairs step down alongside built-in storage.

The gallery includes a built-in bookcase painted in Farrow & Ball’s Hay, which complements the white oak flooring. A sculptural light, chosen in white to match the ceiling and walls, adds visual interests.

Built-ins reduce the need for furniture.

A closet features sleek built-in storage.

Relocating the kitchen door and changing the windows to high, small units created much more space for storage.

The couple's daughter reads in the cozy nook just inside the front door painted in a vibrant blue from Benjamin Moore. Of the storage area below, Fredrik says, "In Sweden, there's always a place to sit and take off your shoes. This is a version of that."

Also in the foyer, beside a wall of glass that brings light into the living/dining area, is storagefor coats, bags and shoes.
