The functionalist gem
They found their dream home in a townhouse in Skillebekk. Camilla Pihl and Peter Peters decided to build a nest for their small family that grew from two to three.
When the couple found out they were expecting their first child, they decided to look for a more family-friendly home than their Frogner flat on the fifth floor. The decided on a Funkis terrace house from 1932 that needed complete renovation. Since Camilla and Peter had received help from the Skøyen Slettvoll branch to furnish their previous apartment, they chose to use the same service for their new housing project.
“We have received a great deal of advice from Slettvoll to help us see the whole picture. They create nice mood boards based on colour palettes you like and make suggestions for everything from the colours of rugs, curtains, fabrics for sofas, cushions and the little things that help create a cosy home.
More information about Slettvoll's furnishing advice can be found here.
With open, bright rooms, clean lines and good energy, everything is in place to create a modern, Nordic style. Organic elements that complement each other, such as plants, stone and fabrics, provide a natural counterbalance to the house's neat, sophisticated details.

At the specially designed kitchen island we find Mano bar stools, which add an Asian-inspired feel to the Nordic interior. The combination creates a unique, Zen-like calm and balance. The curved seat accommodates a recessed cushion that can be covered in any fabric or leather.
ORGANIC DETAILS
The spacious Earnest dining sofa provides a comfortable place on which to enjoy your meal. The sofa can be made to measure and suit any dining area. The Stella dining chairs with their curved back provide a soft frame for a dining table in solid oak.
In the family room, the long wall is broken up by a Zander console table in white pigmented oak. The console table has clean lines and works well as an additional table surface without taking up too much space. A Levi mirror hangs above, adding depth to the space.
A complete colour palette in natural shades, soft white and deep black unites the entire interior. With its light sand-coloured leather and curved shape, the comfortable Piet armchair fits right in. The light linen curtains cast a gentle daylight over the room and bring out the soft tones in both the furniture and decorative details.
Poppy's place
On the first floor is the TV room, which is also used as a guest room. Daughter Poppy naturally has her own East Petit – a comfortable armchair designed for children aged 1-7 years. The chair comes with a practical, removable cover and is available in a variety of washable fabrics. You can also purchase extra chair covers to have one spare.
AN OASIS IN THE CITY
The family's terrace serves as their own green oasis, with lush vegetation that returns year after year. The garden furniture, like the plant selections, is designed to last. The Cape sofa group has quick-drying cushions that are made to withstand rain. The sleek model is made to last through Scandinavian summers year after year, with a black aluminium frame, teak details and durable braid.
A plan for the decor, both indoors and out, was devised with the assistance of Slettvoll. The result is a considered style with a holistic feel.
