Five new European Oak Colors
Color plays a defining role in how a space is experienced. It shapes atmosphere, guides perception, and brings material choices together into a coherent whole. For 2026, we introduce five new colors to our European Oak Collection—each developed to offer depth, balance, and long-term relevance in contemporary interiors.
Rather than following trends, these new tones explore a more grounded palette. Warmth, shadow, and subtle nuance are carefully balanced, allowing the natural character of the wood to remain visible and expressive. The result is a collection of colors that feel calm yet distinctive, refined yet full of presence—designed to support thoughtful architectural and interior concepts.
Umber
Warm, grounded, and quietly confident
Umber is a warm golden-brown tone defined by a honey-to-amber base and a subtle golden glow. The layered grain adds depth and material richness, enhancing the natural expression of European Oak. Balanced and refined in character, Umber brings warmth and clarity to a space without overpowering it. Its timeless quality makes it equally suited for residential interiors and larger-scale projects where material continuity and calm presence are essential.
Divo
Crafted texture and expressive depth
Divo is defined by its artisanal texture and rich, layered appearance. Subtle movement in the surface gives the wood a tactile quality that feels crafted and expressive. Positioned between a warm mid-brown and a reddish tone, Divo carries energy without becoming dominant. The result is a color that celebrates material craftsmanship and detail—well suited to spaces where wood is intended to be experienced both visually and physically.
Cove
Calm presence and understated strength
Cove is a deep dark-brown tone with a soft, warm glow and layered depth. Calm and composed in expression, it brings a sense of balance and quiet strength to an interior. The color feels grounding and protective, offering a stable foundation that allows other elements in the space to come forward. Cove is ideal for interiors that seek serenity, cohesion, and a timeless sense of comfort.
Vesper
Expressive warmth with refined depth
Vesper introduces a rich red-brown tone with pronounced depth and a warm red nuance. Full-bodied yet composed, the color feels expressive without excess. Its subtle energy adds warmth and character, while the refined balance between richness and restraint ensures lasting appeal. Vesper works particularly well in spaces where material expression plays a central role, creating interiors that feel inviting, layered, and alive.
Raven
Depth, shadow, and quiet elegance
Raven is a deep dark-brown tone with an espresso-like depth and a subtle hint of red. Balancing warmth and shadow, it reveals refined nuances as the light changes. Grounded and composed, the color feels rich without becoming heavy. Raven brings a sense of calm strength and understated elegance, making it a powerful choice for interiors that rely on contrast, depth, and long-lasting material presence.
Designed for longevity and flexibility
All five new colors are part of the European Oak Collection and are developed with durability, consistency, and long-term performance in mind. As with all Hakwood surfaces, they can be applied across flooring, wall panels, stairs, and bespoke solutions—allowing designers to create cohesive interiors with a unified material language.
Whether used individually or combined within a broader palette, these new arrivals offer designers greater freedom to shape atmosphere through material, color, and detail.
