Laminate flooring all through downstairs

[sniffysnifferson]

We're in the process of planning our kitchen/dining room flooring and have picked out some lovely oak style laminate.
I'm thinking of doing the rest of downstairs with the all the same flooring.
Will it look boring all being the same?
Anyone done the same and reccommend it?

We are undecided (dithering) about what type of flooring to put down throughout ground floor living areas. We want a wood effect, looked at Karndean, laminate and engineered wood.

Looking at the thread there is a variety of all three and most posters seem happy with their choice?

Any recommendations/help deciding?

I had engineered wood in my last house and loved it.
