Wood floor ideas needed

[MummyNessi]

We are in the proses of buying a house that needs a lot of cosmetic work. It needs new flooring every ( at the moment it's got shaggy brown carpets and plastic pink something )
I would like hard wood floors all over, but I guess you can't have wood in bathrooms? And what about the kitchen? I would prefer to have same floor in kitchen as in dining area and lounge as it's semi open plan but can you have hard wood in the kitchen?
And what about engineered wood?
Is it a lot cheaper? Will it last as well?
I need something hard wearing and easy to clean. The floor and the kitchen are my two priorities to spend a bit more money although i can't go crazy.
Any recommendations on great looking hard wearing hardwood floors?

For the kitchen and bathroom, you can get (somewhat) convincing tiles that look like wood. They'd be easy to clean, fine with water, and good with underfloor heating. Though I'm not sure if they'd make a room seem a bit hard and echo-y. Perhaps a big fluffy rug might help though?

I don’t like vinyl either, it doesn’t disintegrate. We’ll have eng wood downstairs, tiles in bathrooms. We’ll have wood looking tiles but in my opinion they look fake. The vinyl ones look more realistic. You can always look for real linoleum but I found it very expensive and the patterns aren’t to my taste.

We have porcelain wood effect tiles. I think they look great and most people that come to our house don't realise that they are not real wood.

We have Amtico in kitchen and conservatory and it looks like oak. Other people have also mistaken for wood. Easy to clean, warm underfoot compared to tiles, works well with underfloor heating. Very happy with it.
