This project showcases thoughtful design at every level. Beneath the basement stairs, what's typically wasted space was transformed into a cozy reading nook—a small sanctuary for dreaming, reading, and relaxing. Above, the staircase itself features clean, minimalist design: red oak handrails and treads paired with white-painted square balusters. The contrast creates a crisp, elegant look that complements the home's modern aesthetic while the hidden retreat below reminds us that exceptional design considers every square foot. 1976-2026 © Century Stair Company

Inspired by the family historic Monona cottage, this previously unfinished walk-out basement was remodeled to be a comfortable space for kids, complete with custom reading nooks. Beth Skogen Photography

Simple Nantucket style white wainscot and a palette of cool blues, greens, and neutrals evoke that sense of sun, sea and sky. A built-in bench on the staircase landing with hidden bookshelves serves as a cozy reading nook or a place to tie shoes before heading out the door.

A New Year’s resolution to spend more time reading inspired this trio of nooks. Each space was designed to reflect a time and place influenced by a different book. The rooms tells a visual story through the use of patterns, color, object, and decor.
