I've just got the new dining room ready to decorate. The question is whether to opt for laminate, some sort of "engineered" wood, carpet, or whatever else the group suggest (over a concrete floor). In the previous dining room we went for laminate (but the kids have grown-up so there's less food being thrown around), it was OK but hard to keep looking clean and it gives a "hard" sound and feel to the room; not very homely. Is "engineered" wood flooring any better?
