Hardwood Floors in Bedroom
Comments (26)Your wood does not need to match the wood adjacent to it. Our master suite in Alaska is done in honey bamboo on a diagonal (pointing towards the view) which butts into our hall landing in ebony oak. The stairs are treads, ebony oak on risers which are honey maple. The floor on the next level down is red birch with a walnut edging, walnut walls. you drop from that level down to the ebony stained oak again, then down another ebony and ivory staircase to tigerwood. Each room transitions within a door frame, and it flows well. Bamboo on your feet is HEAVEN (like walking on silk) and much more suited to the mastr suite than it is elsewhere in a house. In our victorian the master suite is parquet (oak, walnut and maple) and the halls are oak and pine depending on the room, again, though they're different the floors don't "match" from room to room and yet tend to flow well..most woods do :) I'd do something entirely differnt rather than trying to match an adjoining room if you want to make changes in size etc....See MoreHardwood flooring in the bedroom or wall to wall carpeting
Comments (38)Hardwood, no question. The happiest day of my home decorating life in this house was the one last summer in which my son ripped out the LAST of the wall-to-wall carpet, in his bedroom, and laid hardwood. Now I have wood in the foyer, LR, DR, hall and all 3 bedrooms. As many others have pointed out it is far easier to keep clean, and I love the clean spare appearance of the wood floors. My son also ran the flooring directly through the hallway and into the bedrooms so there are no thresholds and it makes the space look larger. Someday when I do a full remodel of my kitchen I'll continue the same wood flooring into there and the back contiguous hall. A few months ago as a stopgap we pulled up the horrible homeade vinyl floor in there and laid a laminate floor that looks similar to the wood, just a lot less expensive. My goal is that the only non-hardwood flooring in my house will be tile in our florida room, which is a separate (added-on before we bought the house) space. Hardwood rules!

Comments (5)Before you go out any invest in sound control think about squeaks in the sub floor. Carpet does muffle some above, but not below. Sound control can help with the second level but if you have a sub floor that squeaks it will be heard below. Won't know for sure until it gets removed. Also flat sub floors are needed before the actual hardwood goes down. Hardwood enjoys a comfortable place to rest. Kind of an odd statement, but I can't find anything else for the moment. Any low or high spots with foot traffic weight can cause them to move ever so slightly; boards rub against one another causing squeaks. The original framing (floor joists) in the house before they put the sub floor material down may have shrunk. That's common with framing in humid summer months. Once the winters arrive along with dry heat things shrink, nails loosen..squeaks occur. Ken Fisher...See MoreShould we only replace the carpet in the master bedroom with hardwood?
