Hi!
We are currently considering which flooring options to choose for our new build. The tendency is to mainly use tiles or natural stone. However, that doesn’t seem to be very suitable for the two children’s rooms (and possibly not for the bedroom either). I’ve done a lot of research online, and bamboo or cork appear to be good flooring choices for the children’s rooms. What do you think? Cork seems to be more affordable.
For the living room, we are thinking about treating ourselves to marble.
Bedroom? If we go with bamboo parquet for the children’s rooms, then maybe the bedroom as well.

Hello,
maybe I’m completely wrong, but:
As far as I know, marble is actually a very sensitive and high-maintenance flooring material. Setting aside its, in my opinion, unpleasant appearance—though of course it’s your taste and not mine.
If you like it, that’s fine. But marble flooring is definitely not low-maintenance!
Best regards,
Andreas

Prefer marble in the living room. We don’t want a scratched and high-maintenance floor there.

How about tiles for you? Porcelain stoneware is really durable and hardly ever breaks.
Best regards,

Bieber08156 Jun 2017 22:56Low maintenance: linoleum, tiles/porcelain stoneware.
Attractive: parquet flooring (of course, this is a matter of personal taste!).
Comfortable underfoot: cork, parquet, wall-to-wall carpeting/rug.
We have cork everywhere except the entrance area, utility room, and bathroom (where we have tiles).

And bedrooms? Also cork like in the children’s room?

In the children's room, I would avoid any expensive flooring. Just put down something cheap that can be easily replaced and is comfortable for the child to sit and play on.
Friends of mine recently installed nice hardwood flooring in their living room. Little Susie, with her ride-on car, is very happy. She scratched a road into it just two weeks after moving in, complete with a stop sign.
