Sometimes I get scared na lulusot ako sa baba when I'm at my parents bedroom kasi kahoy yung floor and there's anay na. Pero if I had my own home, I want combination ng stone, wood and steel hehe

There are really good (non-ceramic tile) wood substitutes now. Not as good a thermal insulator as real wood, but they're scratch/water/dent/borer resistant & won't need periodic repolishing & care, just cleaning. In North America, they're termed Luxury Vinyl.
Value-wise, hardwood wins. They're literally pricier. To the discriminating, nothing beats the genuine article, however impractical.[emoji16]

Isn't luxury vinyl an oxymoron

Can you recommend where I can get Blinds? Parang mahal sa Hunter Douglas. They have in shopee and lazada but it might not be quality.

Kinda surprised to see Levolor offered in Shopee & Lazada....legit? I dunno. With generic blinds, you gotta shop around. When in doubt, where proven is desired, go HunterDouglas.

Levolor? Venetian blinds pala yan. It's so hard to clean venetian blinds, so we went next for vertical, then cloth curtains, and now korean blinds. I think they are self cleaning everytime you draw them, the dust probably falls off and can be vacuumed off the floor.

We use cloth for the bedrooms and korean for the house.

Korean blinds nga gusto ko. Venetian yung current ko but it's so old and dated na. Yung sa Hunter Douglas hindi Korean blinds ang tawag nila e hehe. I am not sure if pwede one room lang. I want quality blinds kasi ayoko palit ng palit, mahirap mag install sa room ko meron curtain over it saka window cornice

No, sir, not just those. LEVOLOR's a very old brand founded in Jersey. Hunter Douglas bought it some years ago.
