So I'm tring to decide if I should use a high quality wood laminate / engineered wood for my 1st level or go with carpet and tile combination.
The 1st level consists of a master bedroom, kitchen, hallway, laundry room, bathroom, living room and dining room (living and dining technically one room). Open concept for the most part, vaulted ceilings in living room with loft above.
Trim, doors, staircase, fireplace mantel, windows are all in a medium oak color.
Which option is best for resale AND visual appeal?
A) Master bedroom = carpet THEN Kitchen, hallway, laundry room, bathroom, living room and dining room = high quality wood laminate / engineered wood
B) Master bedroom, dining room and living room = carpet THEN Kitchen, hallway, laudry room, bathroom = neutral color tile
C) Entire lower level = high quality wood laminate / engineered wood
No matter the option above the Rec room, staircase to upper level, upper level loft, upper second and third bedrooms will all be in carpet.
If I go with a wood laminate / engineered wood which is the best option?
My Trim, doors, staircase, fireplace mantel, windows are all a medium oak color, my furniture (tables) are all dark walnut or chocolate. Couches are cream colors.
A) Closely match the floor color to the trim and window colors
B) Go with a lighter color than medium oak
C) Go with a color lighter than dark walut, but darker than medium oak
D) Switch all trim, door and windows to white and get a color slightly lighter than dark walnut
