#6614. Scandinavian Elegance: White Shiplap and Contrasting Staircase in a Country House

In this exquisite composition of a staircase space in a country house, we observe a masterful combination of Scandinavian simplicity and American classics. The white horizontal shiplap creates the foundation of the interior, visually expanding the space and filling it with light. Contrasting dark elements—stair treads and handrail—add graphic quality and structure to the composition.

Special attention is drawn to the decorative element in the form of a collection of traditional Swedish Dala horses (Dalahäst), arranged on a small shelf. This touch not only emphasizes the Scandinavian influence in the design of the facade and interior of a country house but also adds a bright color accent to the predominantly monochromatic palette.

The classic brass chandelier with candle-shaped lamps creates warm, soft light, adding coziness and homely warmth to the space. The gallery arrangement of black frames on the white wall of the staircase is another successful technique that can be adopted for decorating similar spaces in your own home.

The architectural solution of the staircase with a turn and landing effectively utilizes the space, while the light paneling on the walls visually expands it. This approach creates a sense of airiness and freedom even in the limited space of a stairwell.
