Usually go with hardwood throughout. It depends on the house & layout.

Heres the floorplan of the main. Spice kitchen is in the pantry where we’ve taken the tub out from the adjacent bathroom.

I would not put tile in the kitchen or foyer and have seams in the middle of spaces.

The mud room & bathroom are OK, there is a doorway for the transition seam in floor material.

Wanted to add: I would not remove the tub or shower from the bathroom and make it a powder room. Keep a 1st floor BR/BA setup for peace of mind, emergency & for resale. The way it is shown now works well for that.

Thank you! We’ve already made the second kitchen. That need kind of outweighed the main floor shower. The flex room will be setup as an office too. Plus, every bedroom on the upper floor has an ensuite and we’ve increased the basement to have extra windows, plumbing and 9’ ceilings. So marketability should still be okay.

Do you live in an area that gets snow? What is your family's main/daily entry point to the home - via the garage/mudroom or the front door? We get snow and in our previous home had h/w in our entryway - our main point of entry - and it was a nightmare to keep clean during the winter months (slush & salt) even with a large rubber-backed carpet. When we reno'd we tiled the entry & had h/w everywhere else (including kitchen) for visual continuity. If it were me, I'd keep tile in the entryway and match it to the tile in your mudroom & the 2 rooms off it - h/w everywhere else. Given the location of the entryway closet (assuming you can't move it down closer to the entryway), I'd finish the tile on an angle from the top edge of closet down to lower dining room wall so the entire tiled area reads as your entryway and no risk to flooring in front of your hall closet.

Ugh! Yes! We get snow and it goes down to -40 here in the winter. Our main entry would be the mudroom. Mind you, in case of large gatherings it would be the main entrance for guests. 🤦🏽‍♀️
