Karndean?

[TheOneWithUnagi]

We have a fair sized family room (kitchen/diner/lounge area). We currently have tiles down but they are pretty horrible and need replacing.

Was originally thinking karndean (we have 2 young kids and a dog) but I'm not sure if it just looks a bit fake? (Obviously it is!)
And the quotes are at £4k so not exactly cheap.

We have engineered wood in our living room and hallway, just not sure how practical it is for a kitchen. My husband prefers tiles and although we do have UFH I find it cold.

I think the vinyl is the obvious choice so please convince me it looks nice and will be practical!

Well my karndean is now down, loving how easy it is to keep clean with dogs and rainy days.

As for durability- as I said before all of the guys working on my build recommended actual karndean, not another lvt. The main guy said he'd tried to economise in his last house and it was a big mistake. OTOH the saleswoman from the flooring shop said she thought they were all pretty much the same 🤷🏼‍♀️.
