ᐅ Which Flooring Is Better – Tiles or Vinyl in the Living/Dining Area?

My wife and I are torn when it comes to choosing the flooring for the living/dining area including the kitchen.

Originally, we had our eye on wood-look tiles. However, the tile alone costs 60 euros per square meter (about 5.6 sq ft). We have since received several recommendations for vinyl flooring.

Which type of flooring do you think is more suitable for the living/dining area including the kitchen?

Vinyl, as it is also warmer and quieter than tiles

Vinyl. It looks much better and is warmer. However, it is not significantly cheaper.

We have click vinyl flooring for 30€ per m2 (10 dollars per sq ft), with a 0.5mm (0.02 inch) wear layer. We noticed very late that the dining room chairs with steel legs had worn-down glides. The floor does not show any damage. With laminate, it would probably have been scratched.

However, I would always recommend bonding.

Here we will also use vinyl – I don’t like tiles, I prefer walking barefoot and find them too cold. Tiles will only be installed in the bathroom.
But in the end, it’s really just a matter of personal taste – it has to please you, not us.
