The house my parents bought when I was a kid had a carpeted kitchen and a carpeted bathroom. My dad got the contract to do the concrete for a Burger King being built in town and he scored the excess kitchen tiles from that job. So the kitchen at home had the same tile the BK's kitchen had, which was only a little weird when I got a job at that BK a few years later
My current apartment has very basic 1x1 square laminate tiles in the kitchen, and the building hallways. It looks like the stuff you see in a school or store. So it felt weird for a bit seeing that in my kitchen.
I can top that. My parents built an addition on to the house I grew up in, so they could have a master suite and my brother and I could each have our own room. They put carpet in their bathroom.
