    Carpet or Hardwood in Bedrooms?

    Its for an old Craftsman home I'm flipping, I love the wood, but do you think doing the entire house in Hardwood will make the house feel really cold?

    What do you prefer in your bedrooms?

    Thanks

      My preference would be hardwood throughout. Carpet is fucking nasty.

          Hardwood, especially if it is an old craftsman style home. Hardwood floors will actually increase the value of the home as well.

          I agree that carpeting is nasty.

              But it's a big house, don't you think it will feel really cold? I'm even doing the Kitchen in Hardwood.

                  That's why God invented area rugs and slippers.

                      I thought the Persians invented the Rugs, and God only invented the slippers.

                                      Na, I'm totally with you, I always have carpet in my bedrooms, my closets and cozy rooms.
                                      But for resell value, I wasn't sure.

                                          I have a pretty large house and both the main floor and top floor are all hardwood. Not cold at all. Go with hardwood, much nicer on resale value too.

                                              Hardwood for sure! I hate carpets.
                                              You can do a lot with wall-colors and furniture to avoid it would look too "cold"

                                                  I agree about the resale value, but what about walking around barefoot, and kids playing and all that fun stuff?

                                                              Hardwood because of the Craftsman. It's easier to sell to a house with hardwood floors to a buyer that wants carpet than it is to sell a house with carpet to a buyer that wants hardwood floors.

                                                              Besides, there is a good chance that the buyer will end up putting in a huge area/room rug that shows off that its hardwood while still giving the warmth of carpet.

                                                                          What do you prefer in your bedrooms?

                                                                          Thanks

Quite a few of those are still around but relatively few in original condition. The more original is your Craftsman home, the more desireable it is.

                                                                                              Besides, there is a good chance that the buyer will end up putting in a huge area/room rug that shows off that its hardwood while still giving the warmth of carpet.

Quite a few of those are still around but relatively few in original condition. The more original is your Craftsman home, the more desireable it is.

But I think you guys are right, I think hardwood is the way to go especially since I'm selling it as a Full Blown Original Craftsman.
