With its saturated jewel tones and warm walnut woods, this townhouse is a sleek, Scandinavian-inspired dream brought to life by Austin-based interior designer Christine Turknett.

The basics: At 2,029 square feet, the three-bedroom, three-bathroom townhouse is located in Westlake, just west of downtown Austin.

Inspiration: The homeowner wanted her entire house to feel like a cozy reading nook, so deep colors and wood were essential to the design, Turknett says.

Design: To achieve the moody look, Turknett went with a low-contrast, dark blue and green color palette. She added warm wood tones and soft, natural textiles to bring in the cozy feel.

Given the homeowner's love for books (and curling up with her cats), a reading space was essential.
