Need flooring advice!
Comments (3)Agree with Lyn. Same fllooring. We just finished doing this and we stuck with hardwoods that can be refinished multiple times, same as downstairs. For softness, you can add area rugs in the bedrooms if you prefer something soft to step onto when you get out of bed....See MoreFlooring advice please?
Comments (0)Any recommendations for carpet brand with underfloor heating? We're installing underfloor heating in our bedrooms, which will be powered by our Air Source Heat Pump (this already powers our UFH downstairs, but with hard floors). So far my research has shown that with an ASHP system the total tog rating of the carpet + underlay should be 1.5 or less. This seems to limit options quite a lot! Anyone have any experience and/or tips? I live in Cambridge in the UK. Many thanks in advance for your insights & suggestions!...See Moreflooring advice

Comments (54)You are right that the downstairs being a refinished space won’t feel “historic” but keeping the design choices to something more cohesive with an old house is what we are saying. I had a 1925 colonial and was very conscious of keeping it consistent. I chose a simple maple cabinet when I redid the kitchen. But I also had a television in the living room. We live modern lives but our historic architecture deserves some sense of preservation. No, you don’t have to do the basement the way many of us are suggesting. But it will feel more like “it’s always been finished” if you consider the structure itself as you make design decisions. Not nagging you but sharing a different perspective....See Morevic syk
