Choosing new flooring for your home is a big decision. It’s a decision that you have to live with for a while. Vinyl and hardwood flooring are popular choices and ones that most people gravitate toward; however, there is always the option of carpet. Now, should carpet be thrown into the ring of consideration? In order to decide, you should know the pros and cons of carpet first.
Pros of Carpet:

Cons of Carpet:

As you can see, there are great advantages to installing carpet and equal disadvantages as well, and even though carpet isn’t the obvious choice for some people, it can be a good addition to your home. Carpet can especially be a great option for families with little kids. Kids are loud, rambunctious, and a lot of times, not careful. Carpet can help minimize noise and can be a soft place for kids to land when they are jumping around. With carpet, you can rest easy knowing your family is better protected and your house is quieter and more peaceful. Though noise blocking and its softness is highlighted, don’t forget all the other great pros to carpet. Don’t leave carpet out of the running when you are deciding your flooring.
