Hi Everyone! New to the Houzz community and in need of design help. I am having moisture issues in my downstairs bathroom so I will need to completely replace the flooring in the downstairs kitchen/bathroom. Also my carpet has shown signs of wear and tear so I am probably going to have to replace carpeting throughout the house pretty soon. I am at loss with what to do!! Take a look at the photos please. What are you all thoughts? I want to make the best budget friendly decision. I am leaning towards wood laminate though out the first floor but I am concerned with how this with look in contrast with my carpeted upstairs/steps area?

Also with laminate, dark, light, in between? I have no idea!!

Thanks in advance everyone!
