I have to agree with Crafty Countess about having a vinyl flooring. I would recommend Loose Lay by Karndean. The range comes in wood plank and stone tile effects, does not have to be glued down except around the edges of the room and damaged "tiles" can be easily replaced. They are made for commercial use, so are very durable and will retain their looks for years to come. From our own tenants, I've found that white or off- white works best. You'll never get a colour right for a tenant. In the past, we've hung curtains, which our tenants always ask to take down and put up their own. We've painted lightly fresh or richly cozy feature walls, which our tenants have asked to paint over. So we always use a neutral paint now. We allow our tenants to hang pictures, providing they repair and paint the holes when they move out and use wall stickups that they can take with them. The less colour you put in, the more you allow your tenants to make the space their own.

We did this in two of our bathrooms. My husband did the tiling and he made sure he ended with a whole tile in the middle of where the shower screen attaches to the wall. Hold on... I´ll take pics. He put the cut ends in the corner.

Steve, your entrance hallway is my hall envy- spectacular. I clearly wasn’t paying attention to your original post/query - apologies. If I had gone to bedrooms, I would defo have gone full width.

I’ve successfully joined my original hardwood maple wood floors in my living areas with a new oak-effect Karndean LVT floor in my kitchen. It reads as one cohesive wood floor. We were advised that choosing an obviously different laying pattern would help disguise the fact they were two different materials. The maple is straight planks, and the Karndean is in a herringbone pattern.
