<p>I would go with the tiles. I have a 1940’s house… and I have wood floors everywhere however they are covered up in each room except in the living room and hallways. Kitchen is tile and easy to clean up and I don’t have to worry about scratching it or staining it. I’ve scratched up my wooden floors quite a few times moving furniture. (ugghhh). Some day i’d like to replace the tiles in the kitchen… they must have ran out of a case and gone back to get more, and the last pack doesn’t exactly match the rest of it. Not horribly different, but enough that I notice it. I think they bought like one color different…</p>
