Do you have wooden floors throughout your house including upstairs bedrooms?


I was wondering if anyone would recommend having wooden floor throughout or have it only for downstairs and have carpets for upstairs.


I know there are pros and cons. I like the warmth of carpets but looking at long term (over 10 years) would it be cost effective to have wooden floor throughout? Also, the ease of cleaning is very attractive!


Also at the moment I am very much interested in the grey colour wooden floor but worried that it's trendy at the moment but will go off the trend soon and will look very old fashioned in 5-6 years time.

Carpets are definitely warmer. But you can always put rugs on top of wooden floors in the Winter months.


Whatever floor you choose will probably look old-fashioned in 5-6 years' time, so I would go with what you like now!


Personally I think the same flooring throughout a house looks better, but it's a matter of personal choice really.


When you say "grey colour" wooden floor, if it's grey because it's painted, you can always paint it a different colour if you go off it in the future?

    • If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.     
    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.
