I've finally decided that it's time to do something with my master bedroom. It's approximately 17' x 14' with 10 foot ceilings. I'm contemplating putting in some medium to upper grade solid wood flooring with an area rug under and around the kingsize bed rather than recarpeting. My furniture is dark cherry wood. I'd figure on a darker wood for the floor. If I go with wood, I will likely change the bottom molding to wood and and similar crown molding up top (after I paint).
My reasoning for this is that there is a traffic area from my bedroom door to my master bath (straight shot). The rest of the carpet doesn't really get much wear, but that area has (carpet is about 18 years old now if it is the original carpet). Another option would be to just do wood in that traffic area and carpet the rest of the way over (think it might look odd).
The opposite side of this house is light. My kitchen, informal dining and walk way from foyer to that area is all maple wood that will eventually get replaced also (goes with the maple cabinets.
Do any of you have any experience with wood flooring in a master bedroom? Pros/cons etc?
thanks (yeah I know this is GFY and not decorators r us)
