About Us
Above & beyond & underfoot
We provide thoughtfully-designed hardwood floors and unique stair solutions directly to you, with ease. We've partnered with Scandinavia's most forward-thinking hardwood flooring manufacturers to bring you a dreamy collection of wood floors that you can browse, sample, and buy online.
I’ve always loved the Scandinavian design ethos—that the role of design is to improve the lives of everyone.

We serve you, not the industry
We're a direct-to-consumer company. The traditional hardwood flooring business model is designed to benefit middlemen, at the expense of the homeowner. We save you money, all while supporting Europe's leading manufacturers of beautiful, durable hardwood flooring. Win-win-win.
Wood for wellbeing
We spend 90% of our lives indoors. A thoughtfully-designed home is essential to our health & wellbeing. That's why in a world of plastic, we need organic materials in our homes—and why at Stuga, we made a conscious choice to only sell authentic wood products. You'll never find printed laminate or plastic vinyl flooring here. When wood has the power to engage our senses and calm our heart rates, why settle for less?

Good design is sustainability, & sustainability is good design.
Strong Forests
Our floors are created in a way that treats forests with the deepest respect, never depleting natural resources, and thereby supporting long-term ecological balance.
Healthy Materials
Many engineered floors are constructed with low-quality, toxic glues and finishes. Not ours. Breathe easy knowing that your Stuga floor will be one of the safest materials in your home.

Our renowned Swedish factory is climate-positive, producing more energy than it consumes. Workers receive a living wage, and all wood waste is recycled into biofuel.
