I live in a three-story mountain- modern home in Park City, Utah. A couple years ago, we installed rift and quartersawn white oak hardwood floors with a clear satin stain on the main level. The rest of the home is carpeted, and I need any advice and suggestions to help me address best flooring options for these areas:

1. The master suite is on upper floor of the home.
2. The bottom floor of the home is partially below grade (walkout basement).
3. There are stairs with landings from the main level and down to the lower level.
4. I intend to tile the bathrooms on both upper and lower floors.

I have a lot of questions and I’m stuck:

• I’d like to consider installing a very durable, waterproof luxury vinyl plank floor, but I don’t know if they can be used on stairways OR if it’s best to install the same hardwood floors I used on my main floor on the stairs and landings and transition to LVP at the upper and lower level living areas?
• I still like carpet; but, I’m looking for ideas on what would be the best options that might require less maintenance and as I grow older. I hope to age at home.

I’ve attached a few photos and appreciate any suggestions to help me coordinate my flooring.
