Flooring Ideas for Scandinavian Interior Design
- Light-Toned Engineered Hardwood: For the quintessential Scandinavian flooring choice, look for engineered wood in very light shades like white oak, ash, or maple with a matte or natural oil finish. The goal is to reflect light and create a bright, airy foundation with a subtle grain pattern. Wider planks will enhance the spacious feel.
- Whitewashed/Gray-Washed Looks: To further brighten and soften the space, a whitewashed or light gray-washed wood visuals is a perfect fit. Explore engineered hardwood and laminate options with these finishes and treatments that allow the natural wood grain to show through subtly while achieving the pale, Nordic look.
- Light Wood-Look Luxury Vinyl: For areas requiring more durability or water resistance, LVP that convincingly mimics light-colored wood is an excellent alternative. Seek out luxury vinyl options with realistic wood grain textures and a matte finish in pale, cool-toned wood shades that align with the Scandinavian aesthetic.
- Large Format Tile: While wood is dominant, light-colored tile can work in Scandinavian design, especially in kitchens or bathrooms. Choose large format porcelain or ceramic tiles in very light gray or off-white. A matte or slightly textured finish will contribute to the natural, understated feel, creating a clean and cohesive look.
