I prefer carpet upstairs as it is more cosy for bedrooms.

I can think of only one alternative (to carpet) for warmth and noise reduction and that is cork flooring. Have a look at these ideabooks to get an idea about it.

I think that these cabinets are a nice choice and I think wood has a natural warm ness so hubby shouldn’t worry it will look cold. Most likely he means that it is too pale for his taste but of course you can add colour to the wall later if he still feels that way. Perhaps you can find a wallpaper you like for a feature wall in the snug. I also liked some of the concrete style tile suggestions. For me I am not keen on kitchen layout particularly the oven position and the peninsula. I think the peninsula cuts in half an otherwise spacious room and is a barrier to accessing your fridge and oven. To me it feels like you missed the opportunity to make the kitchen feel bigger and the kitchen is probably occupying a very similar position to the outgoing one even though walls have moved. Personally I think you should be investigating a plan where your oven and fridge are towards the area you have put a breakfast bar. If you have longer runs of units this helps you see the wide drawers which is a particular feature of this contemporary kitchen. You could also increase the distance between the sink and the hob which is of course your working area. Personally I think the room would be feel bigger without the shown peninsula breakfast bar and instead a bistro table by the garden doors.

I have the same decision to make and have narrowed it down to wood effect tiles or wood effect LVT (eg Karndean). The benefits of LVT are 1) it is warm underfoot (we will have underfloor heating but don't want to have to have it on all the time), 2) softer to walk/fall on and 3) it doesn't have grout lines to get grubby. This is a big pro for me as our current kitchen grout gets dirty so quickly. The benefits of tiles are 1) they won't fade in the sun unlike LVT (we are s facing) 2) they can come in bigger planks than LVT so fewer joins and a less "busy" effect and 3) I think they look more realistic, ie more like real wood, but this is subjective. Also 4) they may be more hardwearing depending on which LVT you choose. Good luck with your decision!

Ideally I wouldn’t have guests walking through the utility to use the loo and I think you’ll find doing laundry would be easier having a door from the hall. However in option 2, 1m is very tight as the loo would need to go on the long wall, could you not pinch some space from the utility?

They are both lovely, but I personally would go for the warmer second option. However option one is an almost perfect match to the worktop!
