1. thats what a swiffer is for. 2. i'd take the occasional dusty/dirty over carpeting with mashed paths from the door to the bathroom or closets, anydayoftheweek.

Totally prefer it to carpet. Hardwood or tile and a bedside rug are the way to go.

Carpet gets mashed paths around the bed, and the amount of dust and dirt that builds up in carpet is astounding. They are never truly clean.

Yes, the dust-bunny population under the bed is also astonishing, but the vacuum removes them in seconds.

Same hardwood flooring master bathroom and bedroom?

You can continue the same wood should you choose. Probably the biggest kille of wood in a bathroom is if the toilet bowl condenses, sweats and drips in the summer, or during periods of high humidity. More common in older homes or homes with no air conditioning. If you want dark wood, you can do that as well. FWIW, I have brazilian cherry in my master bedroom and bathroom. Throughout my whole house, actually. Dark wood. Looks great with no damage after 20 years. If you go with two different woods you can use a wood saddle to make the transition at the door. Or even a stone saddle. Perhaps use the same stone as your bathroom countertop if the countertop will be stone. If you use the same wood, if the strips run through the doorway a good installer can stitch the floors together, although it'd be easier to use a wood saddle at the transition. If they run parallel you can abut them with ease for a continuous look from one room into the next.

Location of the home, value of the home and homeowner preference will be the indicators that say hardwood vs. carpet. Many people in a northern climate prefer carpet in the bedroom. Many people with allergies, asthma, COPD, etc will require hardwood. A little bit more about your situation would help.

Have the current carpet professionally cleaned. Don't worry about the squeaky floor. It won't turn off buyers. If these homes are used as staff accommodations, the buyer will simply be looking for safe, clean, and in good repair. I would spend my money and effort on neutral paint. The luxury vinyl is a pretty good product. If you must install new flooring, this is what I would select. Just be certain to install it throughout the upstairs, not just one room. Visually, the continuity of material is pleasing to the eye. There will be no return on investment if you install any type of new flooring, unless the old flooring was in such bad condition as to be a negative.

For a master, hardwood is nice upgrade. It also tends to elevate a bedroom design, but carpet won't look out of place in a bedroom so either works.

You don't think dust settles on carpet? It does, and you don't see it. But you do an awful lot of walking in your master with bare feet, grnd dust in with foot oils The rip out when you realize it looks like hell in two years? No thanks !! . Do the hardwood, find a lovely large patterned area rug. In a couple short years, you will thank yourself, and enjoy a higher end look in the meantime. Use the swiffer......: )
