[quote=Anonymous]We are debating engineered hardwood vs laminate for most of the first floor of our new home that we are building. Obviously I know that vast majority opinion of this DCUM would be for hardwood, but I am concerned about using hardwood in the kitchen. We are also probably going with a lighter color, and so I am concerned about spills and stains in the kitchen. Due to the layout, I don’t think using laminate in the kitchen and hardwood elsewhere would look right. Other points of consideration: We do not like tile. We do not have dogs and likely will never have them. We have no kids yet but hope to at some point. Obviously the cost of laminate is better, but I understand that many people prefer hardwood (although it seems like some people actually prefer laminate) – does that really impact resale value or valuation? I am curious to experiences of those people who have hardwood in the kitchen (especially a lighter color) with kids. Thoughts? [/quote]
