Floorboards or Carpet in bedroom?

drummer_666

Hi,

I am doing up my home, planning on selling in a year and a half.

It's a victorian terrace, I'm going back to original flooboards in the 2 downstairs reception rooms and hallway, tiles in the kitchen.

I'm leaving the stairs, landing and 2 bedrooms carpeted but am thinking about refurbing the original floorboards in the master bedroom.

Would you prefer the master bedroom with solid wood floors or carpet?

Thanks a lot!

Carpets for me!

I think it depends on the size, i would prefere carpet in a smaller room to make it feel 'cosy' and floorboards in a larger room as you could put a lovely shaggy rug down for your tootsies at the side of the bed without it looking like it swamps the room

Carpets for me too. I currently live in a Victorian terrace and whilst I can see that floorboards would look nice, I only want my tootsies on fluffy floors in the middle of the night!

Plus floorboards upstairs is really noisy

well there's about 3.5 foot each side of the bed and same at the end of the bed.

the rooms a bit bigger than it sounds as the bed's up against the chimney

I have rugs on my floorboards - it's not too draughty!

Carpets, you will be stepping onto it is bare feet sometimes and floorboards can be surprisingly drafty.

If you do decide on floorboards then a little trick to use to seal any gaps between the boards is to collect all the dust up after sanding the floors and mix it with a bit of pva glue, this paste can then be used to seal the boards.

Carpets for me everywhere not just bedrooms. Look much warmer and more comfy to walk on.
