Open plan flooring options?

[mamaandthegirls]

We are due to move into a new house in April and have been told by our lettings agency that it is an open planned living room / dining area / kitchen. I’m assuming that means, no doors?!
If you have this or something similar, what type of flooring do you have down?

I always prefer carpet in the living room area but with the 3 rooms being open planned would it look silly to have an area of carpet and the rest laminate for the kitchen / dining area?
Or shall we just go laminate for the entire area?

We have this. The whole are is tiled. We just have a large rug in the living area.

It might look okay with carpet and tile/laminate, think they call it zoning, we did it in our last house, it worked.

I'd carpet the lounge area and laminate the kitchen. I think it looks ok and I hate having hard floors in the living rooms.

If you are renting surely you can't change the floor without permission?

@mosaic123 there isn’t any flooring down at the moment. It’s a council property so we are allowed to put down our own flooring. X

Can you not have a look before you move in or do you just have to guess?

My downstairs is all tiles or floorboards. I have rugs in the dining room and living room.

@Clymene unfortunately not, it’s still being built at the moment but should be able to view a few days before we get the keys. So frustrating as I need to get flooring before I move all my belongings in x
