Farmhouse Stube, Hof Hörl-Wetscher, Tyrol
The Stube of the Hörl-Wetscher farmhouse in Tyrol, with board-paneled walls, built-in benches and simple furniture.
Design characteristics
Another farmhouse Stube shows the variation possible within the tradition: wood-paneled walls darkened with age, benches along two walls, and a table in the corner under the family's religious corner. The woodwork is entirely practical, but its warmth comes from the material and the enclosed scale. Board paneling and built-in benches are an affordable way to give a mountain room this feeling.
