linoleum all over, maybe different colours. It is nice to live on, and has the potential to look good with walls and doors that are a bit wonky as it looks very clean.
Any pictures of this kind of thing? Further down the line we'll need to do floors. I agree in that its unlikely we could get a good finish at a non eyewatering cost for wood, so would be nice to see other finishes and what could be achieved with them.

Not really, sorry. #marmoleum isn't bad though.
It's mainly the memory of a flat a designer friend of mine had.
50/50 grey in the whole one bedroom flat, including bathroom, all seamless.
Made it really spacious feeling, and all the furniture, even the battered stuff, looked great.
c.h.e.
One thing with herringbone parquet is that I never saw it looking good in renovations, even really expensive ones. Borders, doors, never looked as good as the old stuff. Might be that it needs to look used, but to find someone who works with the same care as 130 years ago might just be impossible.
If I was on a position to get new flooring in my apartment it would be linoleum all over, maybe different colours. It is nice to live on, and has the potential to look good with walls and doors that are a bit wonky as it looks very clean.
Something I saw recently in renovations is using lose granulate stuff instead of self leveling stuff. Leveled with the help of a big spidery thing, then have floating MDF, and then linoleum. To me as an interested non professionnal that looked really good and would ad bounce and insulation.
