Marble-clad floors and walls make for glamorous luxury bathrooms. Marble is very hardwearing and versatile, but is also very porous so will need sealing. Check with your supplier.

2/10 Wooden living room flooring
Beautiful, renewable and recyclable, wood has a natural warmth that looks particularly good in large open-plan living rooms where it has the space to shine. Whether you expose existing floorboards or lay a new engineered or solid floor, wood needs little maintentance. Just sweep regularly with a soft brush or
vacuum and mop over once a week (wring out the
mop well before using).

4/10 Wood parquet kitchen flooring
Classic kitchen wooden parquet flooring with its crisp, neat geometric pattern is a thing of beauty. A waxed parquet floor will need to be cleaned and rewaxed once a year; a varnished version can go much longer without requiring maintenance. Alternatively, look for vinyl or laminate designs that imitate the real thing without the work.
