Hardwood or Carpet?

[JaniceSW]

I like carpet in my bedrooms but I would like a laminate or ceramic tile throughout the remainder of my home.  I just like to squish my toes into carpet when I first get up or am walking about by bedroom.  What about you?

I prefer hardwood floors because they are easy to clean, especially when you have an animal. I am not a vacuum fan, so hard wood floors with some scattered rugs here and there works for me.

have hardwood in my kitchen,,,,  carpet in the living room and bedroom.  Ready to get rid of the carpet in the living room.  I have decided I like hardwood flooring more.  easier when you have pets also !!!!!

I love hardwood floors. I currently have carpet and I can not wait to move to get away from carpet. The floors are easier to clean and the carpet can cause allergies. I like the way hardwood looks too.

I like carpet. You don't have to polish carpet.

I have carpet throughout but I like hardwood floors. I had hardwood years ago but having a dog was not  good with hardwood floors.

I am leaning towards hardwood, we are getting ready to do some remodeling and I think we will go with hardwood.

It all depends on how you live.  Hardwood is definitely easier to deal with... though true hardwood is VERY expensive. 

I would vote against tile in living spaces, except bathrooms & laundry rooms, because it is cold & hard on knees & joints.   I just replaced the carpet in the family room this year, chose carpet because it's warmer & the kids still like to be on the floor to watch tv & if they rough house they won't crack there head on a hard floor -- not that this is allowed, but it has been known to happen :/

I like both, but the laminated or wood floors seem better for my allegries, although in winter that carpet does feel good on the floors.

I like both hardwood and carpet, but I think I'd rather have nice hardwood with nice deco throw rugs.

Hardwood definitely.   I don't think you can ever get carpet clean enough.

I like hardwood but it get slippery for me to walk on so I have hardwood in the dining room carpet is in the other rooms except bathroom and kitchen

I like carpet in all bedrooms, but have it also in the living room, linoleum in the kitchen and bathroom.

I like both depending on the room it is in.  Carpet is better for bedrooms, tile is better for a kitchen; hardwood looks much nicer for some rooms; but I cannot stand very long in bare feet on a hard surface - makes my feet and ankles ache. So I need a carpeted room to retreat to!
