Yes, You Can Use Stuga Floors on Walls and Ceilings Too
Unlike the other guys, you can use our engineered hardwood floors anywhere. Want to add coziness and dimension to your cabin ceiling? Try Zig Zag, our walnut veneer, just like Yellow Brick Home’s Kim and Scott Vargo did in their Michigan home. Looking to create a custom accent wall in your bedroom? Little Square fits the bill. Add an amber-toned glow to your office with Happy Hour walls a la Sarah Sherman Samuel or mix and match our floors for a truly one-of-a-kind feel just like Emily Henderson opted for with Shell and Drift in her brother’s Portland new-build.
Instant Warmth
Why should you consider wood for your walls and/or ceilings? Wood provides a warm and inviting aesthetic. Not only will carrying wood beyond your floors make quite the design statement, but it’s a way to add cohesion to a room or even some unique juxtaposition. Highlight existing architecture with unifying wood or make an open-concept room feel that much more welcoming.
Acoustic Appeal
There’s no question wood has the power to beautify any space, but did you know that it can also improve sound quality? Wood’s natural acoustic properties, particularly when used on a ceiling, help reduce echoes and absorb excess sound. Have a home theater or music room? Looks like you just found your next home improvement project.
Keep It Comfortable
Having difficulties keeping your electric bill down in hot summers or chilly winters? A wood ceiling may be the answer. Wood is a natural insulator, so not only will it make sure your bills are more reasonable, but your home will stay more comfortable year-round.
Play With Light
Because our raw materials are so well-made, they easily lend themselves to more creative applications. Choose any of our blonde hardwoods like Fika or Astrid to brighten a space and make it appear larger, or one of our brown floors like Harbor to curate a more intimate room. Furthermore, how you install the boards will affect your perception.
Wood for a Lifetime
Hardwoods are a classic building material because of their durability and long lifespan. Unlike paint or wallpaper that may go out of style or require upkeep due to daily wear and tear, wood walls and ceilings are low-maintenance and only get more beautiful over time as they patina. Wood in your home is also a wonderful capital improvement.
Considering an oiled floor like Shell for your floors but unsure about the maintenance? There is no need to oil when used on the walls or ceilings.
Better-Made Hardwoods
Sustainability is one of our core tenants and we’re grateful to partner with European manufacturers that feel the same way. Wood is a natural, renewable resource and many of our floors are Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified. This means that wood is harvested in a way that promotes good forestry practices and biodiversity.
Our waterproof hardwood floors are also GreenGuard Gold certified, meaning they are held to the most strict standards for indoor air quality and don’t emit any harmful VOCs.
Easy Installation
When installing our floors on walls or ceilings, there are a few things to keep in mind. Instead of floating, gluing and stapling are the only options for installation. Prefer to DIY? It can definitely be done. Want to call in the professionals? Take a look at our installation guide to see the preferred installers in your area.
