How does the choice of wood transform the decoration?

What is wood selection?

The choice of wood refers to the natural characteristics of the wood's surface, such as knots, color variations, and grain, which determine whether the floor will appear understated and minimalist or rich and expressive. "The choice of wood defines the personality of the floor, whether it's soft and uniform or rich in natural character," explains Anton. "It's a visual choice that sets the tone for the entire room."

What criteria should you take into account when choosing your wood?

“Thanks to our long tradition of wood flooring, buyers often consider the environment as well as the age or general style of the building when choosing the right floor,” explains Anton. “In this context, the choice of wood plays a key role – not just the color.”

Lively or rather soothing? “Choosing the right wood for each space adds an extra dimension to what we consider the central element of a room: the floor.”

Which wood choice is the most popular?

“Lately, the Natural choice has been increasingly popular,” explains Anton.

“We believe this is due to the character it brings. The Nature choice has strong grain, natural color variations, and visible knots.”

The result: a flooring that brings a sense of depth, warmth, and texture to the space, while inviting the beauty of nature inside. "This wood choice has a timeless charm, is incredibly versatile, and works equally well with contemporary interiors as it does with rustic, country, or coastal designs."

To bring these two worlds together, Bjelin also developed the Blend option, which combines the sleek elegance of Select with the authentic charm of Nature. "This unique wood choice creates a floor with a consistent look while retaining the character of the wood."

Select wood, prized for its uniform appearance and barely visible knots, has long been a staple in Northern Europe. But the trend is changing: "More and more customers are now looking for flooring with more texture and personality," Anton emphasizes.

Selecting the right wood may seem complex, but it's an essential step. It will enhance the interior design and help bring the overall vision of the space to life, whether it's a large open space, a cozy corner, or a large-scale commercial project.
