My first floor layout is like this.
- Top left dining room that I turned into an office. Carpet.
- Right of that is a kitchen with hardwood.
- Right of kitchen opens into the living room which is carpet.
- South of the dining room/office is my family room which is carpet and then right of the is the entrance/hallway/half bath which is hardwood .
I need need new hardwood, but still like carpeting in bedrooms and living rooms. That leaves the office and family room. I’m thinking the office/dining room needs hardwood added for sure. What about the family room? Would it look weird to have that carpeted with hardwood to the north and east of it? I’m guessing most of you will say make everything hardwood. I just love the softness and warmth of carpeting.
FYI all of the upstairs is carpet.
