Timber flooring does more than just look good. It sets the mood, shapes the space and works hard behind the scenes to suit how you actually live.
Maybe your weekends are spent with sandy feet and open doors by the coast. Maybe you’re navigating school bags, muddy shoes and the occasional red wine spill. Or maybe you’re after something simple, calm and quietly luxurious.
Whatever your pace or place, there’s a timber floor that fits. Here’s how to find the one that suits your lifestyle best.
For the coastal cruisers
If your life leans into salty air, afternoon dips and easy entertaining, your home should feel just as relaxed. Light, sun-washed tones help create that breezy, open feel that works so well with coastal living.
Try this: Habitat Range – Beach House
This one’s made for coastal spaces. The soft, natural finish feels effortless and pairs beautifully with white walls, linen sofas and sea views. It brings that laid-back, barefoot energy without trying too hard.
2. For the urban sophisticates
You like your spaces sharp, functional and a little bit luxe. Maybe you’re in an apartment or a townhouse, and every detail has to work hard. Your flooring should bring calm to the chaos and still look put together at all times.
Try this: Habitat Range – Storm
Cool, smoky and low-maintenance, Storm gives you that modern edge without being too bold. It’s great for open-plan living, works with clean lines and neutral palettes, and adds just enough texture to keep things interesting.
3. For the full-house families
Life’s busy. There are school drop-offs, snack crumbs, pets that don’t wipe their paws, and shoes that somehow never make it to the rack. Your floors cop the brunt of it all—so they need to be tough, timeless and still look good through it.
Try this: Solid Oak Range – Solid European Oak
Solid timber is built to last. It wears in, not out, and holds up beautifully to real-life living. It brings warmth to open spaces, adds character over time, and gives you the kind of base that can handle whatever the week throws at it.
4. For the countryside slow-laners
If your idea of a perfect weekend involves slow mornings, open windows, and maybe a roast in the oven, you’re probably after a home that feels warm and lived-in. You want character, comfort, and a floor that feels like it’s always been there.
Try this: Habitat Range – Woodlands
Rich, earthy and full of natural grain, Woodlands brings that rustic charm without going overboard. It pairs perfectly with stone, wool, aged brass, or anything that looks better with time. It’s timeless, sturdy and quietly beautiful (just like the lifestyle).
5. For the modern minimalists
You love a clean palette, sharp lines and a home that feels calm the second you walk in. Everything has its place, and your floor needs to feel refined but never cold. It should let your styling do the talking while holding the whole space together.
Try this: Habitat Range – Alta
Soft, pale and beautifully understated, Alta is perfect for light-filled, minimal spaces. It works with soft neutrals, curved furniture, and just the right amount of texture. If your vibe is less is more, this is the one.
Your lifestyle, your floor
Your home should feel like yours. You might lean toward relaxed and coastal, clean and minimal, or something durable that can handle the chaos of a full house. The right timber flooring brings it all together.
Your lifestyle is unique, and your flooring should reflect that.
