I recently carpeted my toddlers room and originally I wanted hard flooring but I must say I'm glad I didn't. I think carpet would be much more comfortable for your little boy to be playing on for years to come. Don't spend too much ;) I was wiping sick off mine the other week and if it was a very expensive carpet I would have been nervous as hell. Luckily it all came out fine! I know both carpet and wood have pros and cons so I guess you need to weigh it up whilst making sure you put comfort and practicality over how it looks (boring I know...) you would need a lovely thick rug over your wood floor which would be a nice touch to the nursery...

I know what you mean and yes it would be great to get the stair case in and I will defiantly do it at some point but it is a pretty big job and I dont want to be disturbing everyone my daughter starts school in September my partner works full time and I'm pregnant so having renovations done now seams a lot and we've only been back to normal after the upheaval of living in temporary accommodation for 4 month after the floods while my house was getting done. Realistically we should of done the stair case then but it added a bit of extra time into being able to come home and after 4 month we were ready for home and our lease was up on the temporary house so we were working to a deadline. There is a stair gate at the bottom of the ladder as it sits on 2 steps so safely wise it's not a problem and I do have toys hidden away in different areas of the house so if they want to play in an other room they can. Logistically I can't see a reason why it won't work but decor wise it's a challenge.

I think they're both a bit adult for a child's room. My girls have one like this https://www.amazon.co.uk/Russian-Dolls-Handmade-Drum-Lampshade/dp/B00BAUU5UO. you may also want to consider what the light will look like, you may want a dimmer.
