Renovation--need opinions of flooring

[Meghan Cheek]

Hi all,

I'm planning to renovate a unit and need some advise regarding flooring.  There are original hardwoods in the living room and bedroom and parquet in the kitchen and hallway.  I plan to get rid of the parquet and redo the kitchen.  Wondering if I should:

1) Lay LVP in the kitchen and hallway (cheapest option but worried that this will not look good as floor will not be uniform and LVP may clash with the hardwood)

2) Weave new hardwood into the kitchen and hallway and refinish the living room and bedrooms floors so that everything matches (worried about maintaining hardwoods, especially in high traffic areas.  It's a B class area with mostly older homes so most competition have hardwoods).

3) Lay LVP through the whole unit and cover existing hardwoods (may be more expensive but definitely more durable over the long-run).

Either way, the hideous parquet has to go!  I'm having my contractor price out each option but wondering what your opinions are.

Thanks!
