Alpine & Tyrolean built-ins & bookcases
Warm wood-lined rooms (Stube): pine or stone-pine paneling, coffered ceilings, chip carving, painted cupboards and heart cutouts.
Its appeal is warmth. Board paneling, a built-in corner bench, chip carving and painted cupboard doors translate directly to mountain homes and to dining nooks anywhere.
Built-ins are the most characteristic feature of older houses: bookcases beside a fireplace, window seats, inglenooks, built-in sideboards and china closets. They make storage part of the architecture.
