Hard floors or carpet?
What do you prefer?

I like a nice hardwood floor. Carpet just seems... perpetually dirty.

It totally depends on what the room is being used for.

Different surfaces to do totally different things.

Hard floors

Carpets feels nice but it's hard to clean and they don't last long. I'm actually in early stages of swapping carpet to floorboards currently.

Yes they do in fact.
The dirt is packed down so it isn't like they are sweeping loose floor surface dirt.
This was in a village in the rain forest so it was always moist enough to keep the floor packed down.

Another hidden consideration:

I love tile and in some situations hardwood, LVP... but many hard surfaces are terrible for sound.

Play musical instruments or have sound systems and it will be reverberation hell.

One should design those rooms with sound in consideration and should consider sound management strategies, speaker placement... all as factors.

I mean I'd want to sweep it... I just can't help but feel like it'd be constantly drying out and producing more to sweep which brings us to the phrase "like sweeping dirt".

tho that's interesting.

Hard man. Hard floor.

Also makes it easier to slide from one place to the other with socks. And it´s easier and faster to clean - and You have less dust in Your PC case.

If I drop a cup or plate on hardwood it'll probably smash.

Carpet is just a waste of money.

Unless I leave the house I spend virtually all of my time barefoot.

There are sections of the house in which walking barefoot matches with carpet.

Bedrooms also IMO should be carpeted.
