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

So, definitely vinyl in the bathroom. I can simply lay it over the tiles, it works great.

That does not fit together. Tiles are the broader preferred choice for bathrooms. Laying vinyl over tiles is not high-quality. The tile pattern underneath will eventually show through, and if water gets between the vinyl and tiles, it will become musty.

Vinyl on tile? 😱 Everything would need to be filled and leveled. And as mentioned earlier, vinyl is hardly considered a high-quality option for bathrooms. As a tenant, I expect tiles in the bathroom, and I’m certainly not alone in that.

My suggestion for the look and design is also mentioned above: tiles in the kitchen, hallway, and bathroom, with the living and sleeping areas in the same warm, light tone.
