We have used vinyl plank flooring in both a large bathroom and a large kitchen. The bathroom floor has been down for about seven years and the kitchen one year.
Vinyl plank flooring is beautiful, warm, durable and easy care. I highly recommend it. I also recommend paying the extra to have it professionally installed unless you’re really good at DIY.
Good luck!

There are so many options for flooring in any big box home improvement store! Laminates, luxury vinyl planks, engineered hardwood and all come in numerous colors. If you are a good DIYer you can install most of these yourself. Go take a long look at all the choices available and then narrow it down to samples that you think will work well in your space!
