Wood Floors for sure. Stone outside. Carpet in a room that's for relaxation. Soft on the feet is good.
-
I prefer carpet. I like the way it feels walking around in bare feet. My home just feels more homey with carpet.
-
Carpet in the livingroom, bedrooms and dens. Stone in the kitchen and bathroom, and wood in the hallways, stairs and every other room that doesn't have stone or carpet. That would be the perfect house for me.

I say either Carpet or Stone -
-
Wood, and lay down carpets on top if you like. Then they can be shaken and beat outside to get the dust out. Have you considered cork floors?
-
Wood floors. Easy to keep clean, look warm, feel warm, sound good.
-
Wood...with rugs scattered around
-
How about Marble if money is no object...it also keep your house cooler in the summer and looks better than stone
-
Stone. I want Polished granite floors. I'll settle for mahogany or teak wood though.
-
Carpet because it is warmer. My parents had hard-wood floors and I would slide all over, and slip down the staircase. It was always cold. It would get marked up by shoes.

to look at WOOD to walk on, live on CARPET.

Always stone. It will last longer than the home and is almost impossible to damage. Care is minimal and it's easy to keep clean. Also minimizes dust and allergens in the home. I would use area rugs for places I wanted to be warm. The underfloor heating is nice but it's expensive and doesn't last as long as the floor.
-
WOOD. it is the best, it's warm in winter, cool in summer and a couple of rugs here and there, perfect!
-
We have tiles in the common areas (kitchen, dining, rumpus, laundry, bathrooms, entrance) and carpet in loungeroom and bedrooms. I like the tiled. If I could have afforded stone, even better. We have a rug in the rumpus.
-
Wood floor, it's classy, it's not cold under the feats and I'm not alergic to it ;-)
-
Definitely wood, carpeted in some places. There used to be wood flooring in the house I lived in when I was much younger. I can still remember how cold the floor was to my feet during the winter season.
-
how about granit for the foyer; kitchen; bathrooms hardwood with cherry stain for the dinning room and living room; hallways; bedrooms I would also install the underground heating system. Easy to keep clean and looks beautiful.
-
Depends on climate. Stone/tile in areas with water (kitchen, bath). Wood for most of the rest in cold climates, stone in warm ones. Carpet (barring beautiful rugs) is a cheap covering for cheap floors; if money is no object, good wood is beautiful.
-
I kinda like wood floors.Except in the bathroom,stone in the bathroom.
-
Had years of carpeting. If I had built the floors stouter and the doors higher I would definitely want Saltillo tiles, set on the diagonal all over the lower story. Then upstairs in the bedroom I would have hardwood floors, vintage pine baords as wide as I can get em, maybe 16-26'". And oriental carpets wherever I want them.
-
Carpet - more comfortable, easier to keep clean; easier to replace; better for children learning how to walk; echoes less; not as cold to the feet; doesn't damage as easy as wood. Stone in the kitchen, bathrooms, foyer. It doesn't take water or stain damage and is very durable.
-
Wood mostly. Stone in entry and kitchen and bath though.
-
Ditto to Patti. Lots of throw rugs too.
-
A mixture of both.
-
Wood, it looks better in most rooms.
-
wood because it dont stain as easy as carpet
-
Depends on the room, Kitchen, lounge and conservatory in wood, and carpet in the bedrooms
-
