So rather "suitcase bottoms" for the Christmas tree decorations, the wedding dress, and the Carrerabahn?

We also have the ceiling open in the bathroom - what is supposed to be disturbing about that?
Our house builder also wanted to convince us to install a suspended ceiling here - but we didn't want that and we are very glad that we stayed stubborn. The bathroom therefore feels very airy. We also took the lighting into account and have a lamp on the mirror that also emits light upwards, so it doesn’t leave a dark spot at the top but subtly illuminates the room.

More like padding. For the other stuff, we have a closet on the upper floor behind the utility room.So more like "trunk bottoms" for the Christmas tree decorations, the wedding dress, and the Carrera racing track?

Thanks again to everyone for the comments.
We had an appointment with the general contractor last week and discussed the rough equipment so that an offer can be prepared afterwards. Everything was basically clear except for one point where we are unsure.
As can be seen in the plan, we have an open kitchen-dining-living area. The dining area and kitchen are completely open with a seamless transition. Therefore, we can hardly imagine dividing the flooring, as this would create an unattractive edge in the middle of the room.
So which flooring should we use?
Originally, we wanted parquet in the living area, but it is rather unsuitable for the kitchen.
Tiles in the entire area seem too "unhomely" and too cold (not referring to the temperature, but to the feel of the room).
Our general contractor recommended vinyl. It is currently used a lot and combines both properties. On the one hand, it is very durable and water-resistant; on the other hand, there are many designs and now also very high-quality vinyl.
I would be interested to hear your opinion on this. Or are there other possibilities that we are currently not considering?
//edit: One additional question: Parquet is a natural product and therefore automatically has different patterns. How does this behave with vinyl? Is there a variation per package, or does each "board" repeat the same pattern?

What speaks against your parquet in the kitchen?

We have oiled parquet in the kitchen – it’s absolutely no problem. Well, if every stain drives you crazy, then don’t do it. But wood is a natural product and we simply accept that it "lives" with us. If that’s not a big problem for you either, I would definitely choose parquet.
Vinyl is simply a plastic product. I find the texture more pleasant than conventional laminate, but in my own house I simply wouldn’t want a "plastic floor." Then I’d rather have tiles.
The good vinyl floors look deceptively real, so they also have irregularities in the pattern. But it is machine-made and every 10th, 20th, or 50th plank is the same again.
