Nearly every room has a view, too. Large, expansive windows with minimal treatments allow the eye to travel outward. From the primary bedroom, located on the main floor, pine on the inside of a trio of windows frames the scene perfectly.

“The bedroom describes the design intent of the whole house,” says the project’s interior designer, Sara Svehla.

A wool rug anchors the space in a tone-on-tone palette. The furnishings were kept purposeful—functional and clean-lined—with very few tchotchkes. Above the pair of olive velvet chairs is an actual piece of art—not a cleverly disguised Samsung Frame TV.

“It feels organic and peaceful, so you walk into the space and exhale,” Svehla says.

What looks simple was, in actuality, quite a challenge. The custom-designed bed was a feat, Svehla notes: “A lot of time went into the detailed drawings.”

That was because of several factors: a specialty mattress, an upholstered headboard with mounted sconces, and floating nightstands with power outlets tucked into the back of the drawers. The result was worth the effort.

“Everything feels clean and in its own spot,” Svehla says.
