How badly are they going to fuck up...
My 2p is that kids will find and fuck your shit up so I would definitely be going the more practical route on everything and chose stuff that will look OK when knocked about and dented.
But follow-on question is ‘if not now, when?’. When is it ‘safe’ to do it?
Obviously kids of any age are going to fuck stuff up. But <5yo are just so fucking aggressive with everything. Plus they have all these wheely toys that fuck your floor, and drag shit everywhere. So I would have that as a decorating horizon.
Also although I often say this in jest, it's a serious comment; get some high up cupboard style storage designed in. The amount of shit we have put up on any high surface makes me despair.

We’re kicking off our renovation in the new year as previously mentioned.
We’re also a few weeks out from having our first child.
How badly are they going to fuck up the Dinesen Douglas fir flooring/staircase I’ve been eyeing up? should I just go for slightly more practical stuff?
