After much consideration we have decided to floorboard our main living area (extension) after ripping tiles off.However, the existing floor in the house is mainly older floorboard ( light coloured ).Would it be unusal or wrong to make the living area a more modern floorboard , perhaps a Kempas ( floating) ? The new area is an extension which would mean the older floorboard would meet where the new floorboard begins.
The alternative is carpet in the extended area but worried about maintainance as we have young kids.
