What is best for tenants/what do tenants look for?

Evening,

Currently renovating a property to rent out. It’s been completely gutted to a shell and is basically brand new!
I’m now at the point where it’s flooring, window fittings and tiling.
My questions are what makes a property desirable?

carpet or LVT in living room?
LVT or tiles on kitchen and utility floor?
Colours of wall tiles in kitchen and bathroom?

Also would a prospective tenant prefer curtain rails were put up so they can dress the windows accordingly? I will however install shutter blinds in the kitchen and bathroom though.

Any other things I should take into account too?

Thank you!

Carpet for living room. Much easier to clean and replace at the end of a tenancy.
LVT flooring for kitchen and bathroom.

Shower curtains over a shower screen.

Washable curtains not blinds.

Easier to clean as you can just replace it.

Basically make sure you can replace everything and touch up everything in the property quickly and easily.

Thank you all very much. Most of this is being carried out or booked in to be sorted as I type. Thanks again.
