this or next year we are ripping up the three different surfaces we have and redoing all downstairs (1700 sq ft)
stain your concrete. If I had that option I would jump at it in a heartbeat we have rustic concrete countertops
if you go laminate, don't go cheap they look cheap (we have from builder in living/master) unless you still got kids at home and have better things to spend money on now.
we have fake tile (ie pressed cardboard) in kitchen and after 15 years starting to look like it and moisture is getting to it.
I'm thinking tile that looks like wood planks for the kitchen and a prefinished hardwood everywhere else. New carpet on the stairs which is hardly ever used but it is 15 year old builder grade crap and looks like it.
