Spotted Gum Flooring

Spotted gum is one of Australia's most loved native hardwoods, and it's easy to see why. The colour runs from warm honey and golden brown through to deeper chocolate tones, often with subtle pink or grey undertones woven through it. What really sets it apart is the grain — bold, flowing and full of character, with natural feature streaks and colour variation from board to board that give a floor real depth and movement. No two boards look exactly the same, and that's a big part of the charm.

Because we care more about the look than locking you into one product, our spotted gum range comes in more than one format. If you want the genuine article, our engineered timber boards are real Australian spotted gum hardwood — actual timber underfoot, with all the natural grain and warmth that comes with it. If you'd rather have something tougher and more water resistant for a busy home, the hybrid version captures the same spotted gum look in a hard-wearing, click-lock board that's brilliant for kitchens and high-traffic areas. There's even a herringbone lay if you want the floor to be a feature. Same iconic colour, your choice of format.

Spotted gum is a warm, mid-toned floor, which makes it one of the easiest looks to decorate around. Its golden-brown base sits beautifully against crisp whites and coastal blues for that relaxed Australian feel, or you can lean into warmer, earthier palettes for something cosier. The natural variation in the grain hides everyday dust and wear well, so it's as practical as it is good-looking. Pair it with natural textures — linen, rattan, stone — and let the timber character do the talking.

Spotted gum is a true Australian classic. It's instantly recognisable, it suits everything from a coastal cottage to a sharp modern build, and it carries a sense of quality that printed-on lookalikes from overseas just can't match. Whether you go for the real hardwood or the hybrid look-alike, you're getting one of the most timeless floors on the market — backed by a 25-year residential warranty either way. Order a sample and stand it up in your own light before you decide; spotted gum's colour shifts beautifully through the day.
