I have a home I am starting to remodel to resale in midwest, average priced home in market, it has nice parqet floors in it already. Do you think most people find parqet floors a turn off and dated? What about leaving the Living Room, Kitchen and Dinning with the Parqet. Bedrooms all have nice Hardwoods, will tile all the bathrooms.

Parquet flooring make the house warm and homely. However, parquet is not suitable for wet area like kitchen. Living, dining and bedrooms to maintain as parquet will be nice with simple light colour wall and straight colour furniture but try not to use silver of metalic furniture as it may spoilt the theme. Whereas, kitchen, I would suggest you replace it to tiles before termite clawing all over the place of the kitchen parquet start decaying and give a awkful smell. PM me should you need further help

I think you should leave the floors as they are. Hardwood is being used in new homes all of the time now, and they are not as nice as the older hardwood. I would leave them alone if I were you. We love our hardwood floors.

Parquet Flooring is quite dated but nicer and more desirable than carpeting. Perhaps have a floor refinisher come in and sand and apply a darker more modern color and fresh poly coat !
