Hello.

Just recently moved into a new house and we are going to change the flooring downstairs but not sure what to put down.

Currently it has carpet in the hallway & living room. Lino in the kitchen and downstairs toilet.

Young family. 2 kids. What would you recommended? This is our first house and have never been through this process before.

Initially we was thinking engineered oak throughout with carpet all upstairs but not sure it will last with young children and potentiality pets in the future.

Now we are thinking either tiles, wood effect tiles or LVT in the hallway kitchen and toilet with carpet in the living room.

Advice please

Thanks!
 
Upstairs was always going to be carpet ( not the bathroom ) - So would you recommend a 100% poly carpet over a wool mix 80/20?

Yes the downside to tiles is that they can feel pretty cold in the winter, but can easily be cleaned.
The floor is level downstairs so i shouldn't have any problems with that.

We could replace and keep the carpet in the same areas but i thought it might be best to not have it in the downstairs hallway?
 
Thanks everyone.

Leaning towards carpet in the living room and then using the same hard floor for the entrance hall, kitchen and toilet.

Initially i was going to put solid/eng oak down in the entrance hall and living room. Keep the lino in the toilet and change the kitchen to tiles.


These are the wood effect porcelain/ceramic tiles i mentioned earlier. What do you think? I'm thinking either these or similar or looking at the Amtico as suggested.
