Wooden flooring in bedrooms

dhokes · 23 October 2017 at 5:04PM

I'm thinking about getting wooden flooring in the bedrooms but keeping carpet on the stairs and upstairs landing. However, I'm not sure how that would look and feel, and whether the difference in wooden flooring/carpet/wooden flooring would be odd. Does anyone else have anything similar and if so, what are your thoughts? If you have any photos to share, they would be much appreciated.

I think my ideal house would have wooden flooring throughout however in this one, carpet on the stairs and landing is the only option.

We have varying flooring in different rooms, Carpet on landing and stairs, Vinyl in bathroom, Carpet in two of the bedroom, Wooden floor in the other, haven't really thought of it being odd

We have wooden flooring downstairs, tiles in the kitchen, wooden in the hall, carpet on stairs & landing, wooden in all 3 bedrooms, and then vinyl in the bathroom.

it was like this when we bought the house! But it suits us just fine, I'll probably keep it this way.

I know an asthmatic that has hard floors everywhere except the stair treads. When somebody's upstairs it sounds like a herd of elephants are in the room!

We have wood floors upstairs. We did it because it's easy to clean child and animal spillages.

Nothing much else to say. It doesn't feel odd to me!

Throughout upstairs or is your landing carpeted?

You have to watch the noise - are you detached, or which rooms do your bedrooms adjoin in your neighbour's house?

You might plan to walk around barefoot, but if you have teens in shoes and who like to stay up late, it could be really annoying.

Semi-detached and no kids. Single owner.

We have a mixture, wood in the hall, tiled kitchen, carpeted lounge, wooden stairs, carpeted landing, wood in one bedroom, tiled bathroom. A can't say it feels odd at all.

We have wood throughout except in bathrooms where we have tiles. Decent flooring and quality underlay reduces the noise considerably.

I’ve got tiles in the kitchen, carpet on the stairs and landing but wooden floors everywhere else. It was like that when I moved in and I’ve not really thought about it that much. It certainly doesn’t feel odd but I do think about having carpet in my bedroom for the extra cosiness. I live alone so no worries about noise.
