Nowadays the trend seems to be towards the hard floors. They gain popularity year after year, people simply must have it. But hard flooring is not only hard but also cold. You will say that you can cover your house with rugs but then what is the point of having nice marble or wood installed, if you are going to hide it. And let's do not forget that carpet cleaning is harder than hard floor cleaning.
However, carpets have their benefits. They both keep your home warm and absorb noise at the same time. Carpets are like giant air filters which can be cleaned by vacuum cleaner. They also trap the dirt and the dust and this way they increase the air quality in the room. In contrast to hard flooring, which hard surface cannot absorb the dust and it will be swept into the air when you walk through the area.
