What do you have on the floor in your hall?

[Tatties]

I'm putting this in Style because I would like the opinions of stylish people on this one!

What kind of flooring do you have in your hall? If you have a wooden floor is it ok to have carpet on the stairs? Or would that look really bad? Trying to work out what to have in our new house but finding it hard to visualise...

wood is quite high maintenance I think - also end up with towels on the floor in winter because the water will ruin it - and when wet it gets very slippy

interesting apronstrings, hadn't thought of that.

laminate flooring until tomoz then getting ripped up
keeps clean and we have a light beige carpet on stirs and landing and beige rug in hall
looks okey

An oatmeal carpet with little brown specks in it so you can't really tell when it needs hoovering.

Aah, just re-read, you don't want my opinion (non-stylish!).

I'll answer the question I thought you would be asking:

5 pairs of shoes
A box of decorating stuff
dd's schoolbag
the recyling boxes & the hoover (under the stairs)
a large sound-mixing desk in a flight-case
half a breadstick

I'm not stylish hut I like my wooden floor and Persian runner.

Fruitful that is the kind of carpet I want on my stairs and what I'll have in the hall I think if I can't make up my mind.

limestone floor in the hall, then pale arpet on the stairs (holding them together and quietening some of the squeaks)!

carpet
am thinking of putting woodplanks down

we have karndean flooring in the hall but its crap - it marks and is pitted from heels. AM changing it for wood. We have a cream carpet on the stairs

really?
hmm maywbbe wills tick wiht carpet then

i hate havign to clean all these woodne typey floors

I hate cleaning wooden floors too but the problem with carpet is that you have to be really strict about people taking off/wiping shoes before they come in and I'm not very good at it.

no at leastt you can SEE the griem in carpet

cant imean

limestone tiles with a rug to reduce the number of serious ds-head-bumps. and yes, hall stairs are carpeted.

our stairs are wooden as well as hall and landing - dust really collects - revealing more about my cleaning habits than I would like.

when we had a carpet the damn cat scratched a whole right through it in about 2 years.

some kind of ruddy expensive mosaic flooring. its dented a lot and has only been down a couple of years. stairs are erm...im ashamed to say. "pretend" wood to match with the floor. (but actually, it doesnt look tacky honest) wish i could afford the real thing. sigh......

and so right about the dust and fluff...its never ending.

We will have cream carpet (no kids ) with a sissal type runner over the top to protect the carpet in our new house. ATM its carpet and its trashed.
