I love in cold country and I don't have carpet....I used to. But I live on a dirt road and have a lifestyle that doesn't permit me taking my shoes off every time I come into and out of the house.... So no carpets here.I'm not a fan of carpets either because I have pretty severe allergies. I can get away with no carpet because of the climate here, but if I lived in cold country I'd be in trouble.
Hardwood floors...... Heated tile floor in the bathroom. Only carpet is in our bedroom.... And dining room which we never use.
