ᐅ The same flooring throughout all rooms? A design consideration

Hey everyone,

This time it’s not about a house, but a 62 sqm (667 sqft) two-room apartment consisting of a living room, bedroom, kitchen, bathroom, and hallway. A floor plan is attached.
It’s going to be renovated, and I’m currently considering which type of flooring to choose.
The apartment is intended for rental, so the flooring should look high-quality and appeal to as broad and modern a taste as possible.
Since I’m more of a technician and craftsman myself, I’m actually having a hard time deciding ^^

What I’m leaning towards so far:
Vinyl flooring throughout, or at least almost everywhere.
Click vinyl.
Probably vinyl flooring in the bathroom as well.

What do you think—does it work well to use the same flooring in all rooms, or should there be some contrasts?
I quite like a light, possibly grayish wood look. And for the bathroom, either the same flooring or maybe something with a tile appearance?

What would you recommend, especially those who are more design-savvy than me? 😀
Concrete suggestions for flooring are very welcome. Links aren’t possible, but maybe exact product names so I can easily find them using a major search engine 😉

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,
Specki

I would never use anything other than tiles for the bathroom.
For the kitchen, tiles or a high-quality floor covering (some manufacturers’ luxury vinyl flooring can be waterproof for up to half an hour), but for rental properties definitely tiles --> you take care of your floor, the tenant doesn’t.

Otherwise, feel free to keep everything consistent in terms of design.

Regarding the floor plan, I would consider using one or two types of tiles—one for the kitchen and hallway, and another for the bathroom. Then, use a "warmer" flooring material for the living and bedrooms. Of course, you could use the same flooring throughout, but if you plan to rent out the property, I would recommend tiles for areas that tend to get wet or dirty. In this case, that would be the kitchen, bathroom, and hallway, which can be nicely grouped together—especially the hallway and kitchen. Since the bathroom is separate, you could choose a different type of tile there.

Using the same flooring everywhere can also look good, but it might feel a bit "boring."

And please don’t use the cheapest tiles from the hardware store. In our last rental apartment, we had tiles where the glaze chipped off extensively, like icing on gingerbread, just from falling cutlery. After one year, the floor looked as if it had been hammered.

I’m also more of a fan of wooden floors since they can be repaired.

I would tile the kitchen, hallway, and bathroom with one type of tile and cover the rest of the apartment with wooden flooring.

Thanks for your responses!
So, in the bathroom it will definitely be vinyl. I can simply lay it over the tiles, which works great.
I’m just unsure whether to choose a tile look for the bathroom and wood look for the rest of the apartment, or to have the same flooring throughout...

I would choose tile look, simply because potential tenants usually picture bathrooms with tiles in their minds. The impression of wood could trigger negative feelings in more people than positive ones.
