Hi, It doesn't sound like you could go far wrong with a solid wood floor throughout Christy. It would compliment the white and grey you have in the kitchen, white worktops look great against the warmth of wood. I have attached a picture to help illustrate the point for you. Hope this helps spark some ideas going forward!

We've just discovered original parquet flooring in the hallway and through the sitting room which is fantastic! Except that there has been an extension to the front of the house (a larger entrance) which currently has 80s vinyl. The parquet is set into the concrete floor and the concrete level has been taken through the front extension so the vinyl is effectively sitting on top of the parquet. Added to that, there is the same issue in the kitchen and downstairs toilet. As we can't take up the concrete to lay new parquet at the right level in those areas we need to lay something different that meets it with a slight lip. We have two young children and had wanted very nice sheet vinyl to flow through from the front door, through the hallway and kitchen to the back door but we can't hide the beautiful parquet now we've found it! The house was built in 1967 and we are trying to decorate in a mid-century modern style to take it back to its time with modern updates. Any recommendations as to how to floor the front hallway extension/kitchen/toilet (we found original cork tiles) so that it leads into the parquet flooring in a good way? I'm open to something dramatic as I don't think there is much that will segue neatly into parquet! Thanks so much for any suggestions!

We're an Amtico house (Amtico Spacia Xtra ). I love it. Looks great, cleans easily, and our is slightly textured so feels nice underfoot. Our 'planks' have very slightly bevelled edges so that also gives the impression of real wood. I agree that it does 'ding' relatively easily, but we've only had one. It's been down coming on 3 years now (3 kids, 1 dog, 1 puppy, and lots of parties) and still looks as good as new. The fitters had to put some self levelling down throughout the downstairs, but the final finish is fantastic. Expensive, but IMO well worth the money. There are a few pictures of the process towards the end of one of my threads if you're interested: [Link to discussion[(https://www.houzz.co.uk/discussions/its-go-go-go-kitchen-diner-project-dsvw-vd~3911398)
