The last thing we wanted with laminate was the 'fake' wood grain or 'fake' tile look. We've always felt that looked cheap, especially near real wood or tile. We were able to find a rather unique laminate that looked a bit like marble, but different enough not to look fake. At Lowes no less!

Good luck! Have fun with your adventure!

By the way, since you are building, consider putting in the cheapest flooring possible unless you find materials the builder offers which you are completely happy with. Anything you replace with flooring you really like later may cost you less in the end. This is because the upgrades offered by the builder are more expensive than products offered by aftermarket contractors. There is a lot written about this in other threads.
