This is totally up to you! Some people prefer the softness that carpeting can provide throughout their bedroom, whereas others prefer the look of wood flooring throughout their room. Wood flooring also can provide a cooling effect on bare feet in warmer climates as well as an option to pick out an area rug or even a few accent rugs.

Hope this helps!

Bedroom: Carpet or wood?

I vote for a good quality wooden floor - easier to keep clean and far more durable! Whilst carpets bring warmth to a room and keep your feet cosy that's nothing a few beautiful rugs can't do! I have one strategically placed by my side of the bed so that I step on something nice and soft first thing every morning! Something like this (I wish!)

This or that - wooden floors or carpet?

Carpet for sure! As champions of carpet, here’s our top five reasons why you should have it in the home: 1. It’s warm – When the mornings are cold, nothing beats the feel of a soft and snuggly carpet on icy toes. Coming in to a warm and welcoming house is the pinnacle of luxury. More people are now turning their back on the cool, sleek look of laminate flooring, for the natural warmth of carpet. Home owners are realising that in rooms such as the lounge, bedrooms and hallway, carpet really is the only option. 2. It’s easy to clean – While you do need to whip the vacuum cleaner over your carpet, there is little other maintenance compared to the upkeep of hard wood floors or laminates. And if you buy one of our easy clean ranges (Sensation, Apollo and Primo collections), cleaning becomes less of a chore - plus you have the added reassurance of a 10 year stain and wear warranty. The key to good carpet maintenance is to vacuum once or twice a week, use a large doormat and avoid laying light coloured carpets next to external entrances. 3. It’s quieter – Forget footsteps clacking against wooden floors, a large surround sound system vibrating or noisy children playing upstairs, one of the major benefits of having carpet in the home is that it absorbs sound. Not only does carpet absorb up to 10 times more sound than hard flooring but it generates less too. 4. It’s good for allergies – Over the decades studies have shown that carpet reduces the number of allergens in the air as compared to hard flooring. Carpet prevents allergens from becoming airborne by trapping them in the fibres of the carpet, helping to keep them out of the air and out of your lungs. Vacuuming the carpet then removes the trapped allergens completely. 5. There’s more choice – Carpet is super versatile. Fancy a more rustic look, opt for a textured loop pile. Want a deep snuggly pile, seek the super soft lustrous carpets out. And when it comes to colour, you can choose to play it safe with neutrals and cool greys or be bold with dark statement inky blues or even stripes! Any style you want to achieve can be done with carpet. Visit our site for more carpet advice and inspiration: www.cormarcarpets.co.uk

Hi Alexander, do you have any photos you can upload? I would suggest that if you need to leave the carpet then use it to build your decorating scheme from. How patterned is the carpet? If it’s quite fussy, you will want to keep the rest of décor quite simple. Complement it with colours in a slightly paler shade on the walls and use sheer voiles to dress windows for a light and breezy feel. We’ve attached a couple of images for inspiration and ideas. Hope that helps!

Wood in living areas and carpet in bedrooms, but what to have in hall?
Q

Depends what kind of wood you are having in the main room. If it's mid or dark colour and a little bit rustic then that works for a hall too, as long as you won't mind if the odd scratch appears over time. If you're having something very light or smooth in the kitchen I would be cautious of having that in a hall as dirt and marks will show much more. In that case I'd choose tile.
