How to Choose the Right Wood Floor for Your Home

Choosing the right wood floor can be overwhelming — but it doesn’t need to be. Here’s a straight-talking guide to help you pick the best option for your home based on use, look, and practicality.

Things to Think About

Engineered vs Solid: Engineered is more stable and great for underfloor heating. Solid suits older homes or smaller areas.

Finish Type: Oil gives a more natural feel. Lacquer offers more protection.

Board Width & Layout: Wide planks feel calm and modern. Herringbone or parquet adds character.

Lifestyle: Pets, kids, and shoes-in or shoes-off households all matter.

Popular Styles

Warm oak planks for living areas

Durable LVT for kitchens or high-traffic homes

Herringbone for hallways and front rooms

Rustic boards for period homes and cottages
