There is also design cork. It basically consists of an impact sound insulation and carrier layer made of cork, then a design layer, and then a small transparent protective layer with texture. It then looks like wood planks. Unfortunately, it is expensive, so you might as well choose parquet... Then I finally found linoleum with a wood look after all. Have a look at "DLW Flooring Naturecore". It's not quite the look I have in mind yet, but where there is one, there are surely more...

We will probably get nice tiles with 30x90 cm in a country house plank look

Keep in mind that the format is also important for the look. It doesn't have to be 2 meters. But see if you can maybe get 20x80 or 16x100 or something like that. Narrower, so it looks more like a plank than a tile. It is also important that the tiles are calibrated (rectified). Then the joints are narrower and less noticeable.

Our tiler laid the living area yesterday. I attached a picture to show how something like this looks on a larger area. It is not grouted yet.

For the upper floor we simply took laminate for the first years. When the kids have grown out of the worst phase, something higher quality will be installed.

It essentially depends on the usage,
in our case, during the summer half-year, living on the terrace and in the garden, the parquet floor in the old house with real wood parquet was no longer nice. Sanding was too messy and time-consuming for us.
Since children and grandchildren visit every 2-3 weeks, the new house now has tiled floors. But with a muted pattern so as not to see every crumb. The emphasis is on different formats and transitions.

For the upper floor we just used simple laminate for the first few years. When the kids are out of the roughest phase, we’ll get something higher quality in.

Very very nice, that’s exactly the kind of thing we have in mind! Just in a slightly different color.

Unfortunately, it is expensive. so you might as well go for parquet...

It depends on the manufacturer. Cortex Vinatura averages around €35/sqm or Egger Home Comfort at €30/sqm. Egger Pro and Wicanders are definitely more expensive at €40-60/sqm. We have an Egger Home Comfort floor throughout the entire ground floor and in the children's rooms (for the reasons mentioned by ).

What speaks against vinyl floors made from rapeseed oil like Wineo? Then it is without PVC. Does anyone have experience with it?
