We bought a house and want to update the flooring on the first floor. The tile is from the 80's and we don't like it very much. The floor itself is level, and the tile is still technically fine. The big question now is what is the best way to "put it back in place"? Cutting it out is just too much work and dirt. The first idea is to put a new tile on top of it. However, in the living room. In the balcony door area, and that could lead to problems.

So, the choices are as follows:

-Tile on tile and, if necessary, at least putty the living room.

-Laying high quality click vinyl over tile

The advantage of vinyl flooring is that if you don't like it anymore, you can replace it after 10 years or so.

It's relatively easy to replace... Does anyone have any ideas/advice/help in making decisions?
