Carpet vs Wooden floor

[Love_London]

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?
