Flooring question

After some suggestions regarding flooring. I don’t know whether having carpets, tiles and laminate flooring on one floor is too much.
I was originally thinking laminate in the hallway, the lounge will have carpet as well as the second smaller reception room. The cloakroom already has tiles (and are good enough to keep), and finally the kitchen is going to have a tiled floor (wood look).
Now I’m wondering whether that will all look a bit OTT? Would it be better to just have carpet in both rooms and hallway?
Thank you 😊

It depends on the house layout and how you use the hallway. Laminate is easier to keep clean and would be better if you will be coming indoors with muddy shoes, have a pet, use the hall for storing a bike etc.

I agree depends on your floor plan. If the hallway runs straight back to kitchen and cloakroom, I’d use tile in the hallway.

Thank you for the replies, I’ve tried to attach a floor plan so it makes more sense,

I wouldn’t have carpet in the hallway as it just isn’t practical. I’d probably do the same floor in the hallway and the kitchen to keep the number of the types of flooring down.

That’s exactly what I would do. We have no carpets downstairs at all now and haven’t had for 10 years. We have wood in dining room and two lounges. Ceramic in kitchen, big hall, laundry and cloakroom. The rooms with wooden floors lead off the central hall. I cannot now imagine worrying about carpets downstairs!

Thank you for the replies, I will go with my original plan of no carpet in hallway.
@JoJoSM2 I did think that earlier on, and it makes a lot more sense to have the same flooring as kitchen (and I like it!)
Thank you everyone 😊
