We will also have the entire living-dining-kitchen area tiled with wood-look tiles. For exactly the reasons you mentioned, it's by far the best choice for us.

We did the same. Hallway, living area, and kitchen. 20x180 and 30x180 alternated.

We will have 120x30 cm tiles installed. I’ve fallen in love with wood-look tiles :)

Edit: But everything has its pros and cons. With kids, definitely not optimal in terms of warmth and "playing" on the floor, that may be true. However, they are also durable (especially because of the kids :D) and visually really nice as well. But there are also play rugs or similar for that.

I also grew up with tiles – I don’t see any lasting damage at the moment (at least I think so :D)

Tiles are bad for acoustics. I would never install them in large rooms with multiple functions. Even less so when there are large window areas as well.

Maybe for your 5.1 hi-fi system with a subwoofer for 2,000€ :D

It’s still a living/dining room and not a music room :D

No, this also applies to normal conversations when someone is working in the kitchen. Or when a larger group is sitting around the dining table. The sound bounces off all hard surfaces like ping pong balls. If I am planning a multipurpose room, I should try to better control the larger amounts of sound that occur. When my child is romping at my in-laws' or rummaging through the Lego boxes, our ears really start ringing after a short time. And everyone automatically speaks louder.
