Wood/vinyl/laminate/carpet for child's bedroom floor?

[Reastie]

Any knowledge on what is the most practical?

I'm tempted by a hard floor and a small rug as I think it's easier to clean spills and will be more practical. We have karndean elsewhere in the house and I think it's fab.

Dh says carpet as it feels nicer underfoot but I think the pros to a hard floor and that hopefully it'll last longer and not stain outweigh this, and dd can wear slippers and have a nice rug.

I've never had a wood or laminate floor to know whether they are as good/better options.

Any feedback welcome

Isn't karndean vinyl though?

Bleachable carpet

It's vinyl tiles. I was thinking of rhinofloor, a sheet vinyl with great patterns, very thick and a bit inflexible. Goes down like Lino, but doesn't wrinkle or tear and stays put. I don't know what the range is like these days but you used to be able to get wood effect, tile effect, geometric designs, and funky kids ones- puzzle pieces, maps, glitter... I'll try and find some...

Don't know if that will work... Lots of ideas from tame to realistic to whacky.

When they throw up at 3am a hard floor is your friend .
