It really depends on your skill level, and available tools.
Everything can be a do it yourself project. But, before you start, be committed to finishing, even if you have to hire someone to complete it.
It depends on taste as well. If you can do the job yourself (and I did it many times) it is an excellent way to add substantial value to your property and enjoy something good while using it. I did bathroom floor to ceiling but left the floor as I have original hardwood floorboards. I think it is beautiful and so many others say. In the kitchen I did a partial floor to ceiling in the wet and hot areas. Tiles are fantastic insulators. So in my view tiles are the ultimate answer. Some people don’t want to go that way. To me it make aesthetic and economic sense.
it depends on what your taste is — sq tile is good as is laminate flooring another twist on vinyl tile is to get the grout-able kind to make it look like ceramic visit your local home depot/Lowe’s box store and view the many options they have and decide what you are capable of doing and can afford thanks and good luck
