It pretty much depends on personal taste of course.
Something to take in account is the area where you project to use it.
Wooden floors look good in almost every area, have a classic and clean look to them and have enormous variety to choose from.
It's not recommended to use wood in areas with a high degree of humidity or where spills might happen (bathroom, kitchen)
Stone tiles, have enormous potential. They are being used by many designers and decorators. Depending on the style, color and texture, they can easily adapt to almost every decorating style. They look great in terraces, balconies, foyers, etc.
To me, Carpets are the most comfortable on the feet of course and are recommended more for bedrooms and family rooms.

All wood as I'm "Sensitive" to Carpeting, If you don't drop dead right away from it it's called "Sensitivity"

I'm never one to complain about a bit of hard wood.
by Tranny on May 14th, 2007
CARPET! No matter what.
Wood and stone looks nice, but a house is for comfort and I'd much rather roll around on carpet floor then a cold, hard one.
(Though I do love the sound of heals on wood)
by Anon on May 14th, 2007
Really soft carpet where I can curl up with someone near a fire. Oh, that and.. if you've ever possibly tried to make love on wooden floor you should know that it really isn't that comfortable to be on the bottom at all.
by Just Me on May 14th, 2007
I'd like to have some hardwood and tile, and carpet for bedrooms.

by MG1942 Has a Life Penguin on May 7th, 2007
My house has all chestnut and cherry appointments. I have a few area rugs to protect traffic areas, but the hardwood floors gleam in here.

I prefer carpet. Keeps my feet warmer.
by Merfish on January 10th, 2009
We ripped out all the carpet in the new house. Half is ceramic tile the rest is wood.
by Sweet T on September 21st, 2008
Stone tiles or hardwood floors.
by Ed the Jetpacking Headbanger on September 21st, 2008
Carpeting except for the bathrooms and kitchen, they are tiled. Basement is tiled also.
by starrrgazer on September 21st, 2008
Wood flooring throughout with the only exception being the bath. I'd have tile in the bath. Can I have marble?? Heated tiles?? :)
by Mentalmum is back on September 21st, 2008
Carpet on stairs and in bedrooms, ceramic tiles in bathroom and kitchen and wooden floors in lounge/dining room.
by TERRYTUKER on September 21st, 2008
carpet sucks
by Sosueme on September 21st, 2008
Depends which room. I do like would flooring though.
by marsha in n.s. on April 10th, 2008
A wood floor. You can do so much with a wood floor. I faux finished a particle board floor, to resemble a stone floor, and another, to look ike a hardwood floor. They both turned out great. Actually the real estate agent that sold our house, thought it was real hardwood!
by Andy Is Wicked Married to Penal Colony on February 26th, 2008
Mostly hardwood floors, some carpet, the master bath is stone tiled, and we also have some marble.
by jt007m on February 26th, 2008
Wood floors are the best. But I'd have to go with tiles for the bathroom. Carpeting just gets too nasty. Think about how much germy goodness that stuff holds and how hard it is to really clean.
by suomynonA on July 20th, 2007
Stone tiles in the foyer, bathrooms, and kitchen. Woodn floor everywhere else. I like heated floors in winter.
by unknown on July 10th, 2007
Hardwood. Bamboo, specifically. It's beautiful and extremely durable. http://www.bamboo-flooring.com/
by scubaduba on July 10th, 2007
Hardwood and/or ceramic tile.
by supersizeme on July 10th, 2007
Tile is my best choice, because it is easiest to clean. Hardwood is my second choice. Carpet is out of the question, because it is a hotbed for germs, fleas, ticks, and mites.
by teedious now has a picture yae on July 10th, 2007
Harwood and tile all the way. If you have a carpet urge then maybe an area rug.
by Babycakes on July 10th, 2007
Harwood floors are easier to clean..I like them the best.
by Nellie Wise Gamgee on July 10th, 2007
Hardwood is beautiful (pun fully intended)
by Someone on July 10th, 2007
I like carpet. I do think however, tile, laminate, and hardwood are preferred in places such as the bathrooms or kitchen in order to allow for easy cleaning of spills or other such messes.
by Takei-Shihan on July 10th, 2007
My personal preference is for a solid stone or concrete floor with heated water in pipes in the floor ... covered with large, fine, decorative ceramic tiles.
by Kyogre-Stataen on July 10th, 2007
Love the tile. It can come in so many unique designs.
by denise on July 10th, 2007
hardwood flooring it's much more hygienic
by Anonymous on May 14th, 2007
In my opinion, nothing quite matches the beauty of wood floors.
by rgypsy on May 14th, 2007
wood floors, and carpets in the bedrooms.
by R U Sirius on May 14th, 2007
I poored some gravel in my living room. I like it cause I can pick up a rock and get my wifes attention when I need something.
by wade into the ocean on May 14th, 2007
Wooden floor & MAYBE Bamboo :-)
by Mr. Meaulnes on May 14th, 2007
Nope of the above.
Personally, I like either concrete or solid-slab marble flooring.
Although if I had to choose out of the three, I'd take stone tiles.
by Brian I on May 14th, 2007
In Britain, where I used to live, fitted carpets. In Lanzarote, where I live now, ceramic tiles. It all depends on the climate.
by unknown on May 14th, 2007
I am all for wood floors.
by Nato2012 on January 10th, 2009
Wood floors are the best I think all around.
Stone, tile, ceramic floors are okay for a bathroom because they are impervious but when used in a ktichen you will eventually end up with no glassware. I have a tiled kitchen and anytime something glass had fallen, even from only a few inches, it has shattered in a million pieces. So either wood or linolium for a kitchen. A quality linolium is what I would put.
Now in a bedroom... Wood floors are nice. Put an area rug in there if you like. if you have dogs than carpet is out of the question. If you dont have dogs then carpet is nice to have in a bedroom. Carpet will have to be replaced every 5 years or so. This is why hardwood flooring is the best all around flooring. It is easy to clean and keep clean. It isnt so hard like a stone that if something falls it will break. I mean, glass will break on a woon floor but there is a better chance it wont. On a ceramic or stone floor 99% of the time it will break. Floor maybe 50%, carpet, 10% break. Hows that.

I prefer carpet indoors in this country as it is cold.
However I do like the look of wooden floors and if rugs are fixed down then they are perfectly safe.
In hot countries I prefer marble or stone floors as it cools the place down and we put rugs down for in the winter to make it cosier.
In kitchens I have had carpet, ceramic tiles and now a high grade lino. Its relatively warm underfoot and if anything is dropped it doesn't shatter but very easy to keep clean. Same for bathrooms.
by Kravenhead on January 10th, 2009
Carpet; keeps the feet warm.
by amitseo on December 23rd, 2009
you can use carpet flooring tiles in kitchen and wooden laminate flooring everywhere.
