Hey, GrayViners!

Here’s today’s home-style dilemma:

If you had to choose just one forever, would you rather have carpet floors or hardwood floors in your home?

No switching back and forth, no rugs covering up the choice — just one faithful flooring for life.

Carpet brings that soft, cozy feel under your feet and keeps things warm. Hardwood, though, is sleek, timeless, and easy to clean.

So… which side are you on? Is it about comfort, style, practicality, or family tradition?

Make your case. Defend your flooring!

May your homes be comfy and your takes even cozier,
Sophia

Hardwood is easier to clean.

I guess I’m the minority because I love carpet. It’s soft and cosy in the winter. Yes I have to shampoo it but it’s worth it. I do like Hardwood flooring in the kitchen and dining room.

I have new carpet in the bedrooms and hard wood in the rest of the house. I love it.

Carpet! I am barefoot in the house year 'round, and carpet keeps my feet healthier, and warmer.

Hhardwood floors. I got rid of the carpets throughout my home. Vacuuming always, wood flooring is just swiffering wet or dry. So easy.

I have beautiful hardwood floors throughout my house and I love them along with a few throw rugs!

Hardwood flooring due to the fact that I have a long-haired cat and I don't care how good your vacuum is, it won't get out all the hair!

I have asthma, so hardwood floors, Easter to keep clean

I have both, in different parts of the house and both have their pros and cons. To me, it would be hard to say which is better.

Team HARDWOOD floors forever!
We roll in a wheelchair a walker and a rollator. Carpets are the enemy for us! Besides we are both at risk of falling! We fall often enough without carpet.

I have both!

I have read no carpet is better for breathing lol, and if i own home there be no carpet. only in front of my bathtub.

Definitely HARDWOOD! It is much easier to keep clean with simple mopping or sweeping, plus it does not collect as much dust and germs as carpet which holds it in the fibers and collects it in the padding below. My asthma Dr. says hardwood is much better for asthma patients who are triggered by dust and dander and pet fur etc. If I want the carpet look, I can just get a pretty room sized throw rug which is easily changed when one wants a new look, too!
