BOEN delivers authentic wooden floors to a southern coastal idyll

In the second episode of this season’s Eventyrlig Oppussing, Halvor Bakke and his team head south to Sørlandet – to a charming summer cottage outside Arendal. Here, surrounded by rocky shores, islets and a shimmering fjord, a family retreat is given new life. BOEN has once again been chosen as the flooring supplier – and with Oak Sand, Castle plank in genuine wood, it creates a warm and natural foundation for the rest of the interior.

An interior inspired by the coast and seaside landscape

With large windows and uninterrupted views of the fjord, the inspiration for this episode’s palette is unmistakable. Halvor Bakke has chosen light, natural shades – beige, sand, pale blue and white – a palette that reflects summer skies, beaches and the sea.

At the heart of it all is BOEN’s Oak Sand – a genuine, oiled oak floor with a warm, sandy tone. The solid Castle plank, an impressive 209 mm wide, lends the room an exclusive and timeless feel, enhancing the sense of space and tranquility. This is not a floor that imitates wood – it is genuine wood, with all the depth and character that only natural materials can bring.

Timeless elegance with respect for history

The transformation of the cottage is not about making everything new, but about refining what already exists. Several of the original details have been preserved, creating continuity between old and new. The result is an interior that feels both timeless and elegant, with warm colours, carefully chosen materials and an atmosphere that invites togetherness.

With BOEN’s Oak Sand in wide Castle planks, the cottage gains a solid and natural foundation. The genuine wooden floor – treated with Live Natural oil – provides warmth and character while standing up to everyday life. Here, a family with two teenage daughters will enjoy holidays and weekends together, with plenty of space for both quiet moments and social gatherings.

A floor for summer memories – and years of use

The newly renovated cottage is not just a place for beautiful summer days – it is also designed to stand the test of time. BOEN’s genuine wood brings durability and longevity to the interior. Each plank carries a natural expression that becomes even more beautiful with age, standing up to everyday life, celebrations, barefoot steps and summer evenings. For the second season in a row, BOEN has been chosen as a supplier to Eventyrlig Oppussing. This collaboration is built on shared values: a love of natural materials, a focus on quality and a passion for timeless design.
