We want to replace the flooring in our house before selling. We currently have stained and worn 20 yo carpet, so I think it is necessary. Our house is 2100 sq ft, and only the bathroom won't need redoing. Actually, the kitchen has acceptable tile, but when I looked at matching it I realized that was going to be very difficult and they didn't tile under the stove and fridge so it looks weird, so we may take that out too. Also, the adjoining dining room is currently carpeted. We will carpet the bedrooms, but looking for suggestions with the rest of the house. I would estimate about 1000 sq feet for living room, den, dining room, and hallway. I am looking for the cheapest that won't turn buyers off. I hate carpet - think it is dirty and disgusting, but I know a lot of people don't feel that way.
So -
Carpet? Laminate? Any suggestions on matching tile?
