i live in a 2000 sq ft two-story house near south summerlin. the entire first floor has tile flooring. master bath, 2nd bath, and laundry room (all 2nd floor) have tile flooring as well, and i have carpeting on the stairs, upstairs bonus room, hallway, and all bedrooms.

i was thinking about adding laminated/wood flooring to the stairs, bonus room, and hallway.

now i've heard from some people that having many different flooring types in a small house can bring down resell value. now i dont plan on reselling anytime soon, but is there truth to this?

I think it would be pushing it to say it would be appraised lower because of multi-type flooring but it would be accurate in saying it would look chopped up without any continuity and if put on the market for sale, probably be harder to sell and bring lower offers.

The Admiral would certainly show it...but she would snicker about it. Her snicker costs you a couple of percent.

A house should flow and appear as a single thread...otherwise it jars. Jarring costs you.

Pergo costs you 2% or so unless it is undetectable...no Pergo is undetectable

The previous posters are both correct in saying that your design should be harmonious and well thought-out.

And using good materials that will withstand the test of time will always add value to your property.If you are going to transition between tile and hardwood, the workmanship is key.

Beautiful! Very pretty!

I opted to carpet the bedrooms and do all the rest of the house in marble. The entryway will have a mosaic but the rest will be quite plain.
