Cold tiles or floorboards, yet easy to clean, or warm and comforting carpet that can get mess and dirt in it?

Anything else, please!

I love carpet in dining rooms (and restaurants) as it is a wonderful way to add a feeling of warmth and fabulous at absorbing noise—the whole dining experience is more relaxed and ambient with a soft floor covering. If you are worried about mess and dirt, large rugs can do the same thing and may be easier to manage (and soda water added quickly to stains works like magic!).

I'd allow it in the living room or dining room but never in the bathroom.

Hello Kathy, what beautiful floors you have.....too lovely to totally cover. I think you're on the right track using two large rugs which will delineate the two usage areas but still show off a bit of that pretty timber. If you can make the rugs big enough to allow a nonslip path for your dog, so much the better. lhh

You could flip the living 90 degrees to the left, making the tv along that longest wall but aligned more left obviously. Depending on how much you wanted to spend, you could invest in joinery which incorporates the tv and books, which then also adds massive amounts of storage. Could be too long of a space for this set up, but stretched out a little with a nice rug it could work well :) please show us pics when you decide!

Phoebe in Vic the homes were called Merchant Builders style & in NSW it was Pettit & Sevitt style (I think?), both after the building companies that pioneered the look. But more builders than those 2 built in an evolved style of mid century modern homes in the 1970's & 80's. in Vic another popular building company was Fasham Johnson, which has now dropped the Johnson & still exists building updated version of their 80s look - some features are timeless. I grew up in a Merchant Builders style home in Melbourne (Nillumbik Shire) 🙂🏡

I'd not previously experienced carpet in a dining area until my parents built their house.

It's probably okay in an adults only environment. Just add children to create squashed food thoroughly rubbed in, beetroot and similar stains, and/or marks that no-one knows how they arrived and science hasn't worked out how to get rid of them.

They have what started out as bland beige carpet, now it's multicoloured and "interesting" (for want of a better term).

God Bless the Grandchildren. :-)

I had carpet underneath the dining table - never ever again! Sooo unhygienic! And since I am allergic to dustmites - no carpet for me ever again, anywhere.

We have always had carpet in the dining room, including when we rented. We used a dropsheet under the highchair. I never really thought about it until we bought a new dining suite and the heavier chairs leave lines in the carpet. Never anticipated that.
