Home of the Day: Scandinavian-inspired in Venice

This newly constructed home in Venice pays homage to the smart, subtle style of Scandinavian design with its blond wood finishes, whitewashed walls and clever details.

Built-in cabinetry and hidden storage keep things clutter-free while making living areas look bigger. Large windows and vaulted pine ceilings further the light and airy feel.

In a nod to Nordic country, the master suite spans the entire third floor and has a cedar sauna and a sculptural soaking tub.
