Flooring for Which Room / Ideas & Tips

We are currently planning to tile the living-dining area. Same tiles as the kitchen (open area) and hallway. Color: gray. We have already picked out tiles and still need to inspect the samples at the specialty store. At first, I wasn't sure if I wanted tiles in the living room, but basically, I like the pleasant coolness in summer, and in winter I wear socks + slippers anyway, as well as underfloor heating. Therefore, this aspect doesn't bother me. For hardwood floors, I read where the manufacturer specifies the max temperature of the underfloor heating as 26°C. That was initially the knockout criterion for real wood floors for me. We might lay vinyl in the bedroom and children's rooms in oak look. The alternative linoleum "hospital floor" would be preferable, but there I couldn't find a good oak look. The guest bathroom will get a wood tile (120x20) with black tiles for the walls. Main bathroom current status: black tiles for floors and walls. In the shower area, respectively, light floor tiles. All 30x60. The utility room will also get light tiles (30x60).

: I can only agree with that! I built it for the first time this year and the playing children really appreciate it. And if the plumber also sticks his forehead out, the underfloor heating can do it, that is now proven. And the plumber wanted tiles? He couldn't care less ...

We will lay white-pigmented oiled oak wood parquet throughout the entire house, including the kitchen, WC(!), master bathroom, and vestibule. Only in the master shower area and the children's bathroom will we install natural stone tiles. We were advised against natural stone tiles everywhere, so I'm curious to see how they will perform.

For millions of years already in the earth, and now they are supposed to cause problems in our house. We will wait and see.

Have they explained to you why it’s better not to use natural stone tiles? I am an absolute layperson!
