Inspire me with your floors! Edwardian house.

[NameChangeSorryNotSorry]

We have bare floor boards throughout the downstairs of our house and carpets upstairs. We need to replace the floor downstairs before next winter. The floorboards aren’t pretty there old and scruffy, impossible to keep clean and horrendously drafty from the basement.
We had amtico in our old house which we liked but it was a small bathroom. Any inspiration for flooring that that would suit the whole downstairs (hall/living room/kitchen) etc. we are thinking a wood effect but open to other ideas. Any colours/brands you’d recommend? Obviously I’ve been Googling and looking on websites but the choice is overwhelming and lots of people seem to find flooring looks so different from samples/online to real life so looking for some real life experiences.
we won’t be getting under floor heating btw!

Bump!

What about solid oak parquet? Or tiles in the hall and carpet in the other rooms. I'm going to have carpet in my living rooms but runner rugs over the floorboards in the hall and tiled kitchen

I'm struggling to imagine something modern like amtico - would it look naff in an older house? Would like to see pics. Otherwise I like it, but maybe more in a newer house

We had Amtico in a small space (bathroom). It looked great when it was new but looked dull and synthetic quite quickly. I wouldn't have it in big living spaces. I'm interested in any suggestions though as we will be completely renovating our late Victorian house in a few months.

We changed ours recently in our Edwardian house to bamboo parquet, quite a warm shade, herringbone style through most of downstairs except kitchen and loo (hallway, living room and study)

My house is slightly younger than yours but we have oak engineered wood throughout most of the downstairs. It’s more stable than real wood but can be sanded back a few times. It’s been down 13 years and had been pretty indestructible with 2 kids and 2 cats.

Excuse the mess as we’re mid DIY!
