Re: hardwood in the main family room
The downstairs is all that fake hardwood. I forget what it's called. The home came with it like that.
The stairs and upstairs is the original hardwood (we pulled up the carpet and refinished).
So the transition from down to up is a different colored wood and I think looks good.
We have a big area rug in the front room.
I love easy to clean floors with area rugs especially as we had a dog and cat.
I admit, once we changed from carpet to hardwood - it did become noticeably noisier with the running upstairs. As my kids grow get older, the noise level is reducing anyway.
I don't notice it cold on the floors at all - HOWEVER we have boiler heat so all the heating is run through the floors so that might be why.
