The Modern-Scandinavian Styled House by Shir Shtaigman Interiors redefines contemporary living in central Israel. Designed for a young couple with two children, the 200-square-meter residence spans two stories and reflects a natural, harmonious aesthetic. Every detail—from custom carpentry to refined materials—creates a cohesive atmosphere that feels both timeless and personal.
A Natural Palette for Harmony
To ensure a consistent visual flow, Shir Shtaigman selected a refined palette of natural tones and materials that extends throughout the home. This design approach not only brings harmony but also connects different spaces. As a result, the interiors feel calm, elegant, and inviting.
Bespoke Furniture and Tailored Details
Many elements were custom designed and built specifically for the Modern-Scandinavian Styled House. In the living room, a long credenza paired with shelving provides both storage and display. The kitchen features a unique metal-and-glass cabinet, while the entrance door was designed as a statement piece. These bespoke details ensure that functionality and style merge seamlessly.
Living Spaces with Outdoor Connection
The dining area, framed by slim black aluminum windows, opens onto a lush, well-kept garden. Natural light floods the space, blurring the boundary between indoors and outdoors. Meanwhile, a striking staircase crafted from black iron and oak wood connects the two levels, combining strength with warmth.
Private Rooms with Personality
Upstairs, the master bedroom introduces intimacy and elegance. A wooden entry wall conceals a custom dresser with brass handles, adding both practicality and sophistication. The children enjoy separate rooms, each reflecting their personality. One is painted in light blue with dolphin-themed wallpaper for a playful touch, while the other features a deep green wallpaper for a cozy atmosphere. Both spaces include parquet flooring and custom carpentry, ensuring comfort and durability.
A Family-Focused Second Floor
The upper level also includes a family room designed primarily for the children. Equipped as a play zone, it offers flexibility for games, learning, and relaxation. This thoughtful layout supports both shared family moments and individual needs, making the home adaptable as the children grow.
Modern-Scandinavian Styled House as a Family Retreat
Ultimately, the Modern-Scandinavian Styled House by Shir Shtaigman Interiors reflects a perfect balance of Scandinavian simplicity and modern comfort. With custom-crafted details, a natural palette, and an emphasis on functionality, the home provides an elegant yet practical environment for family life in Israel.
