I love my 5" manufactured wood floors. In FL, you don’t want solid wood, but have 1/4 real wood on top. My g/f used white oak, and I almost used red oak, but the honey maple matched by eclectic wood furniture better. I was very happy to get rid of the tile. In the kitchen, I have cotton rugs by sink and stove. Oriental rugs in LR and FR.

My neighbor used a darker wood throughout and it looks good too. Haven’t seen bamboo IRL, but it looks nice in the showrooms.

So many pretty options out there. It is hard when your husband has strong opinions. If there is a wood you really like, take him to a house that uses that selection. Do you both go to Home Shows? I found them useful.
