Laminates or Carpet
Other
Would you prefer laminates or carpets in your bedroom. I'm in two minds about what I want.
Growing up I always wanted laminate but we always had carpets till I got my own place did laminate and I hate it lol yes easy to clean but it's a nightmare for dust
Carpet all the way, just got laminated flooring in kitchen & bathroom..
When the guy came to fit our carpets years ago, he said although he fits a lot of laminated flooring at people's homes he preferred carpet as it's warmer...
I have a wooden floor in my bedroom. I’m ground floor, so it works for us. Might be too noisy in an uostairs room
I have found that carpet doesn't last as long as it starts to become thinner and shows marks however it is so much warmer. Which is perfect in the winter. Laminate shows every single bit of dust but is easy to clean. It is also easier to move or change furniture on laminate without having marks in the carpet.
SalmaS that is true, it is always so hard to visualise. With a nice thick rug as you get out of bed it's not bad at all. I have had it for a very long time and it is still like new even after redecorating and moving furniture. The only issue is the dust but if you keep on top of it it's not that bad.
I've had both and I personally prefer carpet. I actually found it harder to keep the laminate clean and it marked really easily. I have a carpet cleaner so easy to get marks etc out.
Laminate for entrance hall, kitchen and bathroom, carpets for rest of property.
What would be the most practical choice for you to have fitted in your bedroom? Pros and cons I've found is usually the best way to help make a decision.
Laminate flooring looks nice, but I wouldn't want it in my house. Carpet is much better, and warmer.
I used to have laminate flooring and now currently have carpet however Im looking to go back to laminate in the new year
We have carpets in the bedrooms and LVT in the lounge and hall, tiles in the bathrooms and kitchen. Would always stay with carpets inthe bedrooms.
When we moved to our new house a few years back we decided on laminate throughout, we only had it down for 6 months and changed to carpets, dogs struggled to walk it on lol and it was a constant tap,tap,tap when they walked on it lol
I have carpet, prefer it especially this time of the years as it’s just much more warmer and cosy
I like carpets for the winter but it’s more practical to have laminate, and I find it easier to clean. Just have laminate and throw a rug over the bits you want that ‘rugged’ patch
Seems there’s pros and cons to both. I think laminate is easier to clean and keep clean but it also makes a room colder
When I moved into my bungalow, there was laminate all the way through. I was happy to leave it as I really liked it and I couldn't afford to replace it with carpet anyway.
I find it very easy to keep clean, I just go around with a swiffer mop daily to keep the dust under control.
Having a carpet is cosier. I have bedrooms with striped back whitened boards with rugs on but Im tempted to carpet those rooms as they’re always colder in the winter.
I personally prefer a Carpet for a bedroom because It`s nicer on your feet plus It will be warmer. Laminate for everywhere else for me.
Laminate downstairs and love it. Carpet upstairs. With kids the lounge is better not carpeted harder to get ruined.
I opted for carpet it's more comfortable and warmer. Although laminate is easier to clean if you have kids.
Carpet in the bedroom, it's too cold to put your feet on the laminate when you need a midnight pee
It has to be carpet for me in the bedroom. We did have wood flooring for a while but I didn’t like it. But when abroad I love tiled floors.
