Well, I have tile floor which in terms of cleaning is similar to wood floor. It is nice because you can actually get it clean with a broom and mop. A carpet is hard to get really clean without a steam vac or something like that. However, the advantage of carpet is that it is easier to make it 'look' clean with just the vacuum cleaner. A vacuum cleaner is way easier than first going over the floor with a broom and then using a mop and waiting for it dry or going over it once again to dry it. A wood floor is pretty and can be cozy with a few area rugs. Your grandkids would prefer that you keep your nice plush green carpet. : )
Ok, so what about half and half? I know what you mean about the kids, but... Now what about carpet in bedrooms and wood floor in living, dining and hall?
I would put wood in only the most travelled areas - or most likely areas for spills. Especially if you have the windows open alot. Wood floors have to be swept or dusted a couple times a week.
One other thing. Though carpet can become dirty or worn in well traveled areas, it is also absorbing sound. Are you thinking of cork floors?
Thanks Matt, good points!
