Carpet and flooring in Caulfield
Caulfield is a compact suburb of tree-lined streets between Caulfield North, Caulfield South and Caulfield East, about 8 km by road from our Huntingdale showroom. Federation and Edwardian houses, interwar homes and blocks of flats give it a strong period character.
Floors in homes like these need to suit the architecture as well as the way you live.
Getting the details right in a period home
Older homes are rarely square, and their floors have often been patched over the years. The details that matter:
- Measuring every room properly, including bay windows, fireplaces and hearths, so the carpet is ordered and cut correctly.
- Joins: rooms wider than the 3.66 m roll need a join. We do our best to place it where it’s least noticeable.
- Skirting: on hard floors we can remove and refit the original skirting rather than adding scotia ($20/m² of floor). We don’t paint, so allow for your painter to touch up.
For formal rooms, premium wool (about $110/m²) and designer patterned wool (about $123/m²) suit the character of these homes; patterned carpet installation is quoted at the measure. Browse our wool carpet ranges.

Caulfield flooring FAQs
Can you lay patterned carpet on stairs?
Yes. Patterned carpet and stairs both need extra care to line the pattern up, so they’re quoted at the measure rather than in the online price guide.
Do you lay herringbone in period homes?
Yes, in engineered oak (from $89/m²) and Australian species (about $130/m²). Herringbone installation is quoted at the measure.
Can I keep my original skirting boards?
Yes. For hard floors we remove the skirting, lay the floor and refit the same boards, so no scotia is needed.
