Inspiration from nature
On the Österlen site Örnahusen, the owner acquired a summer residence from the 1950s that was in great need of thorough modernization. Madeleine’s vision was to introduce pleasant proportions inspired by nature’s own design, including using different geometric shapes that together form a harmonious melody. Like the long and wide floor tiles in white-pigmented Douglas fir.
– The natural color of the wood had the warmth we were looking for, together with the white-pigmented coloring, it was an important factor as the floor would tie together the warm color palette that the home received.

Douglas fir is important
Madeleine talks about how the process of choosing the floor went.
– Initially, we looked broadly at which floor to choose. But we knew we wanted long, wide planks that had a nice feel to walk barefoot on. Some keywords were genuine, practical, and that it was Douglas fir. Thanks to Kullaberg’s three-layer glued plank flooring, we could choose a wide floor, a solution that eliminated the risks associated with wide, solid wood floors, especially when installed on underfloor heating. The three-layer glued floor met both the technical and visual requirements.
Like a jewel
When the floor tiles moved in, the home gained both a beautiful base and a soul that will endure far into the future. It was important to bring in timelessness in the interior as it was part of the concept to find materials that would offer the soul peace and tranquility.
– The floor became a jewel in itself, airy and genuine where it complements other materials and color choices. It feels like they have lived together for a long time, but their journey has just begun.

Competence and experience
The meeting and interaction with Kullaberg Flooring have been an important part of the whole process, says Madeleine. She appreciated the competence and experience they encountered at Kullaberg Flooring.
– They helped us clarify the questions and thoughts we had before deciding on their floor. We also learned where the material came from, tips on how to think about the different finishes, and practical maintenance advice. It really clicked between us and Kullaberg Flooring.
Some good advice
Finally, Madeleine wants to share some advice when it comes to floors.
– Order floor samples and place them next to other chosen materials to see which coloring fits best. Make sure different suppliers have a dialogue. In this case, Kullaberg Flooring delivered surface treatment products to the staircase manufacturer Vitabytrappan to achieve the same color as the floor. And remember that Kullaberg Flooring has a very high-quality carpentry, details that make a difference in any project.”
