Re: hardwood in the main family room
We have hardwood. It was loud in our house until we replaced small area rugs with bigger ones, put more pictures on the walls, and added curtains. The floors and leather furniture can feel cold if we are heating the house with the furnace, but when our wood stove is used the heat is nicely absorbed into the furniture and floors. I guess we are the opposite in that most of our bedrooms have wall to wall carpeting. We did that to help deaden noise in those rooms.
