Top 3 Flooring Choices to Upgrade Your Home Office Before WFH Changes Arrive
Why a Home Office Flooring Upgrade Matters
With new work-from-home (WFH) legislation on the horizon — giving many Australians the right to two days of remote work each week — now’s the time to rethink your workspace.
While your desk and chair matter, the flooring beneath your feet plays a surprisingly big role in comfort, style, and productivity.
At Camberwell Floorworld, we’ve been helping Melbourne homeowners create functional and beautiful spaces for over 30 years. From wool carpet to hybrid and engineered timber flooring, we know what works — and what doesn’t — for home offices that look good and work hard.
How Flooring Affects Comfort, Focus, and Performance
Comfort & Acoustics
If your office chair clatters across a hard floor or your feet freeze in winter, it might be time for an upgrade.
The right flooring helps create a quiet, comfortable space that supports focus and wellbeing.
Style That Inspires Productivity
A stylish, defined workspace makes it easier to mentally switch into “work mode.”
Choosing a floor that reflects professionalism and calm can improve motivation and reduce distractions.
Durability & Easy Maintenance
Between coffee spills, chair wheels, and muddy shoes, your flooring needs to handle everyday wear and tear.
Low-maintenance, durable materials keep your office looking sharp with minimal effort.
Our Top 3 Home Office Flooring Picks
1. Wool Carpet – Warm, Quiet & Timeless
A classic choice for a calm, comfortable workspace.
Wool carpet naturally insulates against both sound and temperature, keeping your office warm and peaceful.
Great for: Bedrooms-turned-offices or quiet zones
Benefits: Warmth, noise reduction, natural fibre comfort
Maintenance: Vacuum weekly; occasional professional clean
(Featured colours: Kohu 177, Limestone 155, Mint 233, Kaimai 143)
2. Hybrid Flooring – Stylish, Durable & Low Maintenance
Hybrid flooring blends the beauty of timber with the practicality of vinyl. It’s scratch-resistant, waterproof, and perfect for busy homes where your office doubles as a family room.
Great for: Multi-use spaces and high-traffic areas
Benefits: Timber look, durability, quick clean-ups
Maintenance: Sweep regularly; mop as needed
3. Engineered Timber – Natural Luxury Underfoot
If you want a workspace that inspires, engineered timber flooring offers natural warmth, texture, and timeless appeal — with more stability than solid timber.
Great for: Professional or client-facing home offices
Benefits: Natural beauty, long-lasting quality
Maintenance: Gentle cleaning; occasional refinishing

Laminate Flooring — A budget-friendly way to achieve a sleek, professional look
