[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 652870, member: 18516"] I have been trying to decide for over a year if I want to stick with carpet in the living room or put in hardwood. I keep leaning towards hardwood because it will be easier to clean than carpet and I know for re-sale value most people want hardwood. Also with hardwood you can use area rugs. You can buy carpet remnants and have the edges bound or buy a traditional patterned area rug. One thing to keep in mind with hardwood is the sun can fade them, so if you have a piece of furniture that sits where the sun comes in, over time the floor around it can fade. They may have new product out that doesn't do that but it's something to ask at the flooring store. Hardwood comes in so many different widths, colors, hand scraped, etc.... lots of choices. DO NOT DO LAMINATE!! it can sound hollow and echo. In case you are wondering, I used to work in a flooring store. [/QUOTE]
