Same. I did all expensive hardwood through the entire house for cleanliness and aesthetics reasons. And afterwards I felt like you couldn’t have a private bedroom conversation or …anything… anymore. And instantly regretted it. Tried to get over it. Didn’t get over it.
Ended up carpeting the bedrooms and the office. I don’t have pets, or kids that live with us, and we don’t wear shoes in the house.
Most of the house is hard wood floors. But the bedrooms are clean, high quality, comfortable carpets.
I think carpeting bedrooms is a nice touch. It's just lends a more homely, comfy feel to a space that's all about rest and relaxation. The more high traffic areas being hard wood makes sense as they'll hold up better and be easier to clean
Fr, mum’s house is entirely hard wood flooring and I can hear *everything*. Will never live in a home where there’s hard wood flooring near the bedrooms
