1. Wall-to-Wall Carpet Everywhere

For decades, wall-to-wall carpeting was seen as a luxury upgrade. Today?

It often screams “outdated.”

While carpets feel cozy, they’re difficult to maintain, trap allergens, and reduce indoor air quality. Many homeowners upgrading their homes now prefer hardwood floor installation or luxury vinyl plank flooring because they:

  • Increase resale value
  • Improve air quality
  • Are easier to clean
  • Look modern and high-end

Instead of carpeting every room, opt for hardwood floors paired with stylish area rugs. This creates warmth without sacrificing style.
