How to Choose the Right Flooring for Your Home

Choosing the right flooring for your home is one of the most important decisions you’ll make when building or renovating. Flooring affects not only the look and feel of your space, but also its durability, comfort, and value. With so many options available—timber, hybrid, laminate, and more—it can be hard to know where to start.

At AMZ Timber Flooring, we’re here to help you make the best choice for your home and lifestyle. Here's what to consider when selecting your perfect floor.

1. Consider Your Lifestyle

Start with how your home is used day-to-day:

• Families with kids or pets should look for strong, low-maintenance flooring like hybrid or laminate.

• Entertainers or style-focused homeowners may prefer the warmth and elegance of engineered timber.

• Busy individuals might value easy-to-clean and waterproof flooring options.

2. Think About the Room

Different rooms have different needs:

• Living areas & bedrooms: Comfort and design are key—timber, hybrid, and laminate are all great options.

• Kitchens, laundries: Choose water-resistant flooring like SPC hybrid or vinyl.

• Entryways & hallways: Opt for durable flooring that handles high traffic.

3. Set Your Budget Wisely

Your budget will help guide your choice:

• Laminate : Affordable, stylish, and durable.

• Hybrid flooring: Offers great value with water resistance and a modern look.

• Engineered timber: A premium option that brings natural beauty to your home.

Remember to include installation, underlay, and subfloor preparation in your cost planning.

4. Match Your Home’s Style

Your flooring should enhance your interior design:

• Modern interiors: Wide planks, light oak, or grey tones.

• Classic homes: Natural timbers and rich, warm tones.

• Coastal or Scandinavian looks: Whitewashed or light timber styles.

At AMZ Timber Flooring, we offer a wide range of colour and texture options to suit every design style.

5. Durability & Maintenance

Ask yourself how much time you want to spend maintaining your floors:

• Low-maintenance: Hybrid, laminate, and vinyl are scratch-resistant and easy to clean.

• Natural timber: Requires more care but offers timeless beauty and adds value to your home.

6. Acoustics & Comfort

In apartments or multi-level homes, flooring with good acoustic performance is essential. Our SPC hybrid flooring includes an acoustic underlay to reduce noise transfer and improve comfort underfoot.

7. Installation Considerations

Some flooring types are DIY-friendly (like hybrid and laminate), while others require professional installation (like timber). Our experienced team at AMZ Timber Flooring can guide you through the process or provide full installation service.

8. Request Samples First

Always test samples in your home before you decide. Lighting, wall colours, and furniture can all influence how your flooring looks. We’re happy to provide samples to help you choose confidently.
