Laminate flooring
Well just got laminate flooring laid in the kitchen after my wife persuaded me its the best way forward over cushion floor and wow it looks amazing.
The guy at our local B&Q said once you start it becomes addictive. Mmm yes he was right because now I've decided to take it through to the living room and passage/hall way.
At a cost of £850 for all materials including £250 labour its certainly well worth it and also our little one starting to potty train the mess will be easier to manage...

Just be careful to not let the floor get too wet, especially because it's laid in the kitchen.
Personally, I like real wood but I must admit that these laminates are getting a better look to them as time passes.

Yes it looks great, I did mine when in UK. Just remember, don't get water on the floor, laminate is not waterproof, it will swell up if you spill water on it. If you do, wipe and dry it immediately and clean with a polish type cleaner, not soapy water,
If you have a dog, don't put its water bowl on it.

And do not let the missus polish it with Mr Sheen - a big NO NO!

I've had all 3 options, laminate in my old house and then both solid wood and engineered board in this house.
Of the 3, I'd definitely recommend the engineered board. It's basically MDF board with a 6mm veneer of solid wood on top, so you can sand it back like solid wood and revarnish but you don't get the expansion problems that you get with solid wood.
