Getting to Know the Natural Oaks
by Haley Holm-Pedersen
There’s something enduring about natural oak. Honest, unfussy, and effortlessly at home in almost any space, it’s the kind of material that outlasts trends.
The Natural Oaks family celebrates the true color and organic character of European oak, exactly as it is. No stains, just warm, inviting tones that range from soft tan to light brown, bringing an Old World sensibility into a clean, modern context. These are floors that settle in beautifully and only get better with time; equally at ease alongside a vintage heirloom or a brand-new sofa.
If you’re looking for a floor that adapts as your style evolves, Natural Oaks might be your Goldilocks moment: not too bold, not too plain, always just right.

Frida
Frida is a certifiable stunner. Wide planks and an ultra-matte finish give this floor a quietly elevated presence, allowing the wood grain to take center stage without shine or distraction. Its warm, unstained tone works across aesthetics, from modern to traditional, while the ultra-matte finish offers both protection and a distinctly contemporary feel.
Compare Frida to favorites like Greta and Ingrid: These floors share the same character levels and ultra-matte finish, but in different colors. Frida is the warmest of the three, its classic oak tone adding a sunny touch to your space.

Tivoli
Tivoli is where Scandinavian restraint meets everyday livability. With a simple matte lacquer finish and no stain, Tivoli lets the natural warmth of oak speak for itself. The look is timeless and approachable; easy to live with, easy to love. It’s the kind of floor that feels familiar the moment it’s installed, offering durability and style without asking for attention.
Tivoli is an ideal starting point: classic, versatile, and thoughtfully made. If you’re craving something a bit more rustic, Forest builds on this foundation; if you want a wider plank with an ultra-matte finish, Frida takes it in a more modern direction.

Forest
Forest brings the outdoors in, no hiking boots required. This is Tivoli’s wilder sibling, marked by many visible knots throughout and small cracks that highlight the individuality of each plank. The color remains consistent and warm, but the added character gives Forest an especially organic feel.
A matte lacquer finish minimizes glare while protecting against daily wear, and four-sided beveling creates a classic full-plank look. Forest feels grounded, natural, and welcoming; perfect for homes that value texture, warmth, and a sense of ease.

Old Town
Old Town is proof that tradition doesn’t have to be complicated. Featuring a classic herringbone pattern and a stain-free matte acrylic finish, this floor delivers old-world elegance with modern practicality. The left- and right-hand planks fit together seamlessly, creating a smooth, flat surface without bevels—no on-site sanding or finishing required.
Old Town pairs beautifully with Tivoli, sharing the same natural tone for effortless transitions between straight planks and herringbone. Used on its own or as part of a pattern mix, it adds architectural interest while staying true to the timeless appeal of natural oak.
