We fully appreciate that when choosing your flooring, its kind of a big deal, actually its a REALLY BIG dea and one decision you won’t want to get wrong in your reno or new build. We refer to your flooring like your canvas, it sets the tone for the aesthetics of the whole home and the flooring you choose will have flow-on affects to every other interior choice you make. Scared yet? Don’t worry, that’s where we come in!
We’re constantly asked which type of flooring we like best. Carpet, tiles, vinyl, vinyl planking, hybrid flooring, porcelain tiles? There’s a lot to consider! The truth is, we love lots of types of flooring! Here are some factors to consider:
1. Where is My Floor Being Installed?
Different flooring types have varying benefits depending on your needs.
For example some flooring types are more suitable for wet areas. Is an area where there is lots of wear and tear, do you have pets or little kids, or is there a lot of natural light in the area. These all can change what flooring is best & in choosing correctly will ensure your room looks exactly as you have imagined for years to come!
2. Colour and Gloss Levels
Now that you have chosen a range, it's time to decide which colour and gloss level will compliment your space. This is a great time to go back to your vision board or we love using pinterest and create a board. What theme are you constantly attracted to, is it light floors, dark floors, timber looks or tiles. Is it a muted matt finish, or high gloss tiles which grab your eye? This will show you what you absolutely love and we can assist you in choosing the colour and gloss exactly as you have visioned!
Here’s a quick rundown of the most common types of flooring to get you started thinking about what might work for you:

Carpet
As much as we love hardwood floors, we can’t go past the feel-good factor of carpet in bedrooms. We wouldn’t do a whole house in wall-to-wall carpet but a bedroom? Definitely. Who doesn’t want to wake up in the morning and put their feet on a lovely, soft surface rather than a cold, hard floor? Enough said.

Vinyl Planks
Gone are the days where timber floors need to be consistently upkept with sanding and polishing every time they receive a scratch or damae. Now with Vinyl Planking you can create the look of timber, but without the upkeep! So many finishes & colours to choose, they look good, but also be super durable, water-resistant and low maintenance. It’s also less-expensive than other types of timber or laminate planks.

Tiles
Tiled flooring is a no brainer for bathrooms but it’s not as popular a choice in kitchens, dining and living spaces these days compared to other timber looks which is more forgiving underfoot. But if your vision board keeps whispering “tiles” to you … I would seriously consider it. With porcelain tiles, Concrete look tiles, 60 x 60 tiles, 45 x 45 tiles, but an extremely popular size is 30 x 60 tiles, they really stand out as a design look on their own!

Vinyl
Vinyl is only for grandma & grandpas home right? WRONG. Long gone are the days where this is a product that is overlooked or only for the older age bracket. With herringbone looks & incredible technology, we find when installed it not only is a great way to have that designer look on a budget, but your friends will be asking you if it is real timber as they cannot tell the difference!
