A sneak peek inside Despina’s stylish home
Despina and her husband Sven chose the Herringbone 4540 for their living room and the Whalebone 8510 for their home office. Together, these floors create the warm and inviting foundation of their colourful and personal interior.
An eclectic interior with a personal story
Despina describes her interior style as eclectic: a harmonious blend of different styles brought together into one unique home. The result is a colourful and vibrant interior where warm tones, striking details and a variety of materials work together beautifully.
Her favourite spot? The feature wall beside the dining table, finished with decorative mouldings and integrated lighting. A true eye-catcher that brings a smile to her face every day.
A colourful and maximalist interior
No corner of Despina’s home is the same. She loves colour, patterns and unique accessories. Everything you see has been carefully selected and tells its own story.
Her interior style is cheerful, expressive and full of character – a home where there is always something new to discover.
Despina’s favourite details:
✔ The decorative mouldings with built-in lighting on the dining room wall – a real statement piece.
✔ The warm, dark Herringbone 4540 in the living room.
✔ The spacious office featuring the fresh and light Whalebone 8510 as a creative workspace.

Flooring that dares to be different
In the living room, Despina and Sven chose the Herringbone 4540. While many people opt for a light herringbone floor, they deliberately selected a darker option. The rich brown and black tones create a sophisticated appearance while adding warmth and character to the home.
In the office – a spacious room measuring no less than 40 m² – they chose the Whalebone 8510. For Despina, this felt like an opportunity to create a completely different atmosphere. Because the room is almost as large as the living room, she opted for a light floor to contrast with the darker flooring throughout the rest of the house.
This contrast creates a bright and inspiring workspace.
About the floors:
✔ Warm and inviting – Dark tones add depth and character, while light shades create openness and space.
✔ Ideal for families and pets – The durable wear layer is resistant to scratches and easy to maintain.
✔ Timeless and versatile – Perfect for both colourful, classic interiors and calm, minimalist spaces.
“You don’t need a large home to create a beautiful home.” – Despina
