In recent months, we’re noticing a trend in homeowners no longer buying carpets for their homes. There are a variety of reasons for this…and there may be something that strikes a note with you if you’re considering carpeting in your home. We’ve detailed some of the reasons below.
Reasons To Consider Avoiding Carpet In Your Home
Preference For Hard Flooring. Homeowners may decide that they prefer a hard flooring option to carpet. They might like the style of laminate, hardwood, tile or vinyl for its look and construction. Flooring is more durable, easier to maintain, and has aesthetic value. It can also appear to be more modern, and better for overall home value.
Allergies and Cleanliness. A carpet can collect dust and allergens, as well as pet dander and droppings. This can be a problem for people living with allergies. Hardwood flooring is easier to clean and maintain, and better for a home’s air quality.
Lifestyle Changes. Many people today have busy schedules, and don’t have the time it takes to vacuum, spot clean, and shampoo carpets. Hardwood flooring can withstand more foot traffic, and wears less over time.
Design Trends. Of late, the new design trends for homes involve minimalism and contemporary looks. These looks are often better complimented with hardwood flooring. New carpets sometimes do not fit with these trends.
Longevity and Cost. Carpets are initially cheaper to install, but will likely require replacement over time, especially in homes with children and pets. With hard flooring, the long term costs are likely to be lower.
Environmental Concerns. Hardwood flooring offers environmentally friendly options, like sustainably sourced hardwood, or eco-friendly laminate and vinyl.
