I like both.
I love the feel and aesthetic of wooden floors, but i also love the comfort and safety of carpet.
Im currently lucky enough to have floorboards with rugs, (best of both worlds in my book).
Hopefully your carpet is synthetic, over vacuuming of wool or loop pile will fuzz up the fibres.
Carpet isnt so bad - the asthmatic foundation acknowledges that, (if vacuumed regularly), it helps keep air quality clean as it traps minute particles out of the air.
And its safer for little kids to fall over on.

I preferred carpet. I have hardwood floors in nearly all rooms and yes it feels very clean but it's also cold in winter.

@PatientlyWaiting25 that’s valid
Both have their advantages and disadvantages. Carpet feels nicer, but hardwood is easier to clean. I went with carpet in this place, but I'm considering wood if I ever move again.

No carpet floors, I hate carpets. My biggest reason is they hold smell, dirt and always needs maintenance to keep looking fresh. Carpeting is a big pain in the tuchus (yes Tuchus is a Yiddish word that means a significant annoyance or problem🤣🤣🤣)
Hardwood preferred, but will settle for any smooth flooring that's easy to clean.

I want hardwood floors now. I'm at the age where I hate carpets because I can't keep them clean.
All the tiles under my carpets have lifted, too, so I can't just lift the carpets and leave it at that.

Agree. Carpet is so much more difficult to maintain and it shows wear and stains

Usually hardwood with nice rugs. But carpet is nice in the bedroom where I’m often barefoot.

Carpet in the living room only.
Here hardwood wouldn't make any sense. Most places here have tile or linoleum.
Most places here are built on concrete slabs.

CARPET. I like to be sneaky. I like to fall and not break a rib.
Only thing I dislike about carpet is the dust and the constant vacuuming

Carpet in the bedrooms, but hardwood throughout the house (except rooms where there’s water)

Hardwood with smaller carpets that you can easily transfer/remove or clean without moving furniture.

Hardwood echos too much, plus too cold in the winter.
