The house we're in the process of buying currently has no flooring, but a budget has been provided to get 'mid range' flooring laid.
Long story in a nutshell, it's new build but the building firm went bust so it's being sold and organised by the bank that swallowed the assets. As such it's not the building firm supplying/fitting the carpets but a known flooring company.
My current job is to decide before the end of the week what flooring I want in each room!
DD is a toddler and we're intending more children, so carpet for the stairs, landing and bedrooms is going to be a speckled colour and the most indestructable one I can afford find. Tiles are not included in the budget, and I find them a bit cold anyway, so bathrooms are going to be vinyl.
My question however is for the lounge, kitchen, entrance hall, WC and utility room - or the entirety of the ground floor. I would rather avoid carpet and stick with a hard floor and cheap rugs while DD is toilet training young.
So has anyone got any wisdom or words of advice regarding the decision between laminate and vinyl?
