HARDWOOD FLOORS OR CARPETING?
by Emily
The diva's reply: I would say this is a personal preference Emily, however there are pro's and con's to both. Carpeting Pro's: always soft underfoot adds warmth absorbs sound affordable Carpeting Con's Needs vacuuming regularly retains dust retains odors stains not pet friendly contains allergens Hardwood Pro's Looks warm timeless look Easy to clean moderate durability depending on choice many varieties,can substitute with a laminate adds value can be installed by homeowner Hardwood Con's Can show dust hard underfoot may need to be refinished in time (exception would be engineered hardwood since the finish is baked on) can be pricey A lot of people opt for carpeting in the bedrooms and hardwood in the main living areas. I suggest adding area rugs for warmth and comfort. They can easily be cleaned or changed. Hope that helps, thanks for contributing, come back soon! |
