Komfoo house interior designed by STUDIO KONDE Konrad Idaszewski Architekt, an interior architecture project from Poznań focused on creating a comfortable contemporary home with a strong sense of warmth and carefully balanced proportions. Visit the full project: https://conde.pl/portfolio/gotowy-projekt-wnetrz-domu-komfoo/ As part of the Modelowedomy collection of three individually configurable houses, Komfoo offers a high living room with a mezzanine, while the kitchen and dining area are separated from the living space by a functional furniture wall, creating distinct zones while preserving the spacious character of the home.
This living room combines natural timber, soft neutral upholstery and carefully selected architectural details to create a warm and sophisticated interior. Generous glazing, a high vaulted ceiling and a freestanding wood-burning stove give the space a distinctive character, while the restrained palette of beige, cream, taupe and warm wood keeps the composition calm and cohesive.
A generous U-shaped sectional sofa upholstered in light beige fabric occupies the main seating zone, with deep cushions and broad chaise sections creating an inviting arrangement for relaxation. Several large cushions in matching neutral tones soften the substantial form of the sofa, while loosely folded throws add texture and a more relaxed residential character. In front of the seating, two overlapping round coffee tables introduce a contrasting dark element, with smooth black tops set on vertically fluted cylindrical bases.
The seating arrangement rests on a large woven rug with a pronounced looped texture and a subtle geometric pattern. Its warm cream and beige tones complement the light timber flooring and visually gather the sofa and coffee tables into a defined lounge area. A small stack of books on one of the tables provides a discreet everyday detail, while the dark furniture creates a clear contrast against the predominantly light interior.
One of the strongest features of the room is the fireplace zone positioned along the left-hand wall. A freestanding black wood-burning stove sits on a large light-coloured hearth, with the visible flames introducing a warm glow and a lively accent to the otherwise restrained interior. Beside it, a minimalist black metal log holder displays neatly stacked firewood, while slender fireplace tools stand nearby. The tall black flue rises from the stove towards the ceiling, emphasizing the impressive height of the living room.
Behind the fireplace, the wall is covered with narrow vertical white slats that create a finely textured surface and reinforce the room's vertical proportions. Above, the pitched ceiling is finished with large natural timber panels framed by visible wooden beams, bringing warmth and a subtle reference to the architecture of the house. The combination of ribbed wall cladding and exposed timber overhead creates a distinctive backdrop for the fireplace and seating area.
Full-height glazing occupies much of the rear façade, opening the living room towards the garden and filling the interior with soft daylight. Sheer vertical blinds filter the light across the windows, while long taupe-grey curtains frame the glazing and add depth to the neutral palette. Mature trees, lawn and a white garden fence are visible outside, providing a natural backdrop to the warm interior.
Suspended within the high ceiling volume, a simple cylindrical pendant adds a soft architectural lighting element above the seating area. Its clean white form remains deliberately understated against the timber structure and textured wall surfaces. Through the combination of the vaulted ceiling, natural wood, ribbed wall finish, sculptural coffee tables, generous sectional sofa and freestanding fireplace, the Komfoo living room achieves a comfortable and refined character that reflects the interior architecture approach of STUDIO KONDE and its work as an interior architect in Poznań.

The front entrance details the 3-dimensional interplay of the different volumes utilizing linear components and geometric patterning to create strong lines. Elements that bridge the gap between line and form are seen in the exchange of horizontal wood paneling, rectangular fiber-cement panels, and the floating, glass entryway roof.
