You might recall back in the spring, Per and I realised that the wood floor in our open-plan living area had finally bitten the dust. No amount of sanding, waxing and glue could rescue it. I was so grateful to hear all your thoughts on (it’s a minefield as the options are endless!). After A LOT of deliberation, we finally chose with a rustic, white matte lacquer finish from Swedish brand . The reason: most of all, we fell in love with this particular wood floor. But also, it’s easy to install (see my post of us in action here), really hard-wearing (with a messy family of five this was essential!) and made of renewable raw materials.
Originally, it was a – I’ve always loved both styles but in the end, we opted for the wide planks since I knew they would fit with the contemporary feel of our home and bring an element of calm to the living space (trust me, an open-plan living space with three kids around can get pretty hectic!). We also chose a light wood as it’s a pretty dark room, especially in the winter and I have to say, the white lacquer finish has given the room an instant lift!
We’re so thrilled with it! The only problem is, that decorating always seems to have a knock-on effect: update one thing in your home and then other things beside it start to look dated! Do you find the same? Don’t tell Per though – he’s only just recovered from the installation!
I hope you like our new wood floor as much as we do!
You can find more details about it – and see how our room looked before the renovation . In case you’re curious about laying a wood floor yourself, read !
I’ll be back tomorrow with a very exciting home tour – please do pop back as I’d hate for you to miss it. In the meantime, I’m sending sunny weather vibes from Sweden!

Thank you so much to Bjelin for partnering with us in this project, it made the whole renovation so seamless. All words are my own and I only ever work with brands I absolutely love!
