Vinyl flooring in the basement instead of parquet

We also did that in our first house – ground floor and upper floor had oak country house floorboards and laminate in the studio. I know, you didn’t ask for this, but: I regretted not taking parquet in the studio as well. More or less every time I entered, I was annoyed. If you are a parquet lover (and I gather that from your text), then whenever possible, I would equip the living floors accordingly.
