Consider colours available both in finished and unfinished woods. Look in to the durability of the wood . Kitchen, bathroom have very differing environments to that of a hall or living room.

Look at maintenance of the surfaces. Some hard woods are pressure treated with stain whilst others may have stain application. Investigate subfloor and check its suitable. Checkout the thickness of the floor and determine if its laminated or solid wood. Determine how that flooring will be fixed and what if any work is required to the subfloor before fixing. Order time - check how long an order will be coming and if the flooring is all of one batch - Colour differences can be vast when flooring is from differing batches.
