How to choose the timber flooring for your home with Alison Lewis Interiors

April 13, 2022

My guest today is Alison Lewis from Alison Lewis Interiors. Alison is an interior designer with over a decade of experience who offers design consultations and coaching to those just beginning their renovating or new build journey, professional designers and everyone in between. 


In this episode, we’re exploring how to choose timber flooring for your home. The colour of your timber is such an important choice - very dark floors and very light floors show up everything so they require a lot of maintenance. 


I like to start with choosing the floor when determining the finishes. It informs every decision from that point to bring the house together and compliment each tone. 


We’ll cover choosing the veneer, hardness/softness, knots, floating boards, insulation, direct stick, board size and so much more. 


There’s so much to think about when choosing your timber flooring - this episode will help you start working through each decision to find a timber flooring that is perfect for your home.
