Carpet or wood in the bedroom, what does the market say?

An often debated subject, carpet or wood, or both? Making this decision, when selling or remodeling can be tuff. So, let’s talk about the benefits and drawbacks to both, and what the market influences, so you can make your decision! 

Benefit and drawback to Carpet 

Wall-to-wall carpet is having a comeback, maybe because it is affordable and there are durable options, or maybe because carpet’s comfortable feel and ability to reduce noise are hard to argue with. With carpet, you are making the warmer and softer choice. But the downside to carpet is that when stains arise, they require harder labor to clean and even keep up with than wood floors. Additionally, carpet can look outdated or worn down faster than wood. Carpet is more affordable to replace if damaged which is a huge upside if you have messy children or pets around and carpet still performs well on the market. 

Benefits to Drawbacks to Wood

The benefits of hardwood can make you understand the financial investment you are making when installing. Hardwood floors are better for the environment, are highly durable, have a flexible style, and are easier to clean. People who are looking for hardwood floors are willing to pay extra to have them in their homes when buying. The downside to them, is they can be noisy, damage easily with staining, scuffing, and denting the wood, and they are way more expensive to replace. The good thing is that wood floors will increase your property value, especially if installed in the bedroom.
