Sydney Kelly and Olivia Keener of Carpet Baggers Carpet One help readers determine the most suitable flooring for their home and lifestyle needs. After all, flooring is one of the most used products in the home.

Carpet, Tile, or Hardwood? 

Sydney Said: 

I prefer hardwood flooring topped with a carpet rug. Hardwood flooring enhances your home’s appearance while offering low maintenance and easy cleaning, making it ideal for pet owners and families. 

Olivia Said: 

I favor tile floors. I love how creative homeowners can be with tile selections and placement. When done properly, tile flooring can create a striking impression.

Favorite Flooring Brand? 

Sydney Said: 

Robbins Hardwood provides high-quality hardwood at an affordable price. Robbins sells directly to retailers like Carpet Baggers, allowing them to work closely with our team to provide exceptional customer service.

Olivia Said: 

Anderson Turtex is my favorite for both carpet and hardwood flooring. Every detail of their floors is crafted to maximize the comfort of your home, offering a high-end look available in modern and traditional styles. 

Best Flooring for Outdoor Spaces? 

Sydney Said:

I would design an outdoor space with a porcelain tile complemented with a custom outdoor area rug. The rug will accent the surface while protecting the floor. 

Olivia Said: 

Tile, specifically porcelain is best for outdoor living spaces due to its durability, easy maintenance, and appearance. 

Most Valuable Feature of Carpet? 

Sydney Said:

Carpet is an excellent cushioning surface for children playing on the floor. Additionally, it serves as a beneficial addition to stairs for households with elderly dogs or adults with  young kids, as a carpeted surface reduces the risk of slipping.

Olivia Said:

The comfort and quiet provided by carpet makes it a great choice for the flooring of your home. Carpet adds texture to a room and gives cushion to the overlaying furniture.
