I can't decide!

Will be moving to our new house shortly and being a decorating fiend and having work done in the house (soundproofing) I'll start decorating asap:o

I had the decor planned before I even found the right house but the downstairs flooring I'm struggling with!

The main walls in each room will be a light/ish shade of grey.The living room will have a plum and metallic grey feature wall and the hallway will have a white,black and silvery grey feature (possibly up the stairs) with a dark charcoal fleck carpet on the stairs.Kitchen,well not 100% decided what I'll be doing yet but there will be some red bits in there and I'll need to re-tile.

I did consider walnut (love walnut) as it would work with the grey and plum (I think) but I don't think it would work in the hallway as I love good contrast between carpet and laminate and I think it would look dull!That and I don't want to make the rooms appear smaller.

I also like oak floorboard effect but not convinced it would go/if it would look too 'classic'?

So,any suggestions?Thought I'd look now while sales are on!

Oh,furniture is currently oak but I'm quite happy to paint it to fit my style :)
