When you build with Mojo, every decision is about creating a home that reflects your personality and lifestyle. One of the most impactful choices you’ll make? Your flooring. It sets the tone—literally—for every space in your home. Whether you’re drawn to the timeless appeal of tiles or the contemporary charm of hybrid flooring, both are incredible options. It all comes down to what suits your style, your routine, and how you want your home to feel underfoot.

The Case for Tiles: Stylish, Strong & Sophisticated

Tiles have long been a favourite in Australian homes—and for good reason. They’re beautifully versatile, incredibly durable, and bring a polished feel to every room. Whether you’re creating a luxe spa-like bathroom, a family-friendly kitchen or a breezy coastal living space, there’s a tile to match your vision.

At Mojo, our curated tile ranges offer a variety of textures, colours and finishes—from marble-inspired looks to organic stone and timber effects. They’re a perfect match for high-traffic areas, especially for busy households with pets or kids.

Tiles also play well with the Aussie climate. They stay cool in summer and are a dream with underfloor heating in winter. And when it comes to wet zones like your bathroom or laundry, tiles offer peace of mind thanks to their naturally water-resistant nature.

Ceramic vs Porcelain Tiles – What’s the Difference?

Ceramic tiles are an affordable, flexible option ideal for indoor areas. They’re lightweight, easy to work with, and available in a huge range of colours and patterns. Perfect for creating a cohesive, stylish vibe throughout your home.

Porcelain tiles, on the other hand, are ultra-durable and low-porous, making them ideal for wet areas and spaces that need a little extra resilience. They’re dense and strong designed to stand the test of time while delivering a sophisticated, seamless finish.

Why Hybrid Flooring Is Having a Moment

Looking for the best of both worlds? Say hello to hybrid flooring—a modern solution that combines the beauty of natural timber with the latest in flooring technology. Engineered from multiple layers including laminate and vinyl, hybrid floors are built for durability, comfort, and effortless style.

They’re soft underfoot, quiet to walk on, and incredibly easy to maintain. Plus, their interlocking installation method means fewer disruptions and a flawless finish. Hybrid floors are a popular choice for open-plan living areas, bedrooms, and anywhere you want that warm, inviting feel.

With a wide range of colours and realistic wood-look designs available, hybrid flooring is a fantastic option for homeowners who want the charm of timber without the higher maintenance. And like tiles, hybrid floors are water-resistant—making them a smart choice for families, entertainers, and anyone looking for a long-lasting flooring solution.
