The match+maker brochure was created to simplify the specification process and help bring great designs to life, this curated collection shows how Havwoods timber can be mixed and matched across floors, walls, cabinetry and architectural details. Whether you’re creating continuity or contrast, match+maker is designed to help you bring tone, undertone and texture together so multiple timber surfaces feel considered and cohesive.

How to use match+maker


1 | Start with colour

Every successful timber pairing begins the same way: with colour.

The match+maker guide simplifies the process by grouping our collection into eight colour groups to guide your selection and make the choice easier.

2 | Choose to match or mix your timber

Explore flooring and alternative surfaces via our brochure or online that are designed to work together, choosing either to match or mix the timber tones.

The perfect match

Select your perfect match and carry the same timber tone across floors, walls or cabinetry. Change the format, grain, direction or texture to create subtle depth while keeping everything connected.

Mix it up

Introduce contrast by pairing complementary tones with similar undertones. Let one timber lead the show, then layer with others to create depth and texture.
