Please justify your outrageous opinion
I agree with him because wooden floors with decent sized turkish rugs are preferable. You can take the rug out and beat it.
Fixed carpet is warmer, but vaguely unpleasant and makes a house feel like a hotel.
I assume it's what you're used to, I'd say carpeted rooms are the norm and a house with hard floors feels like a shop or a school or somewhere else where you're still wearing your shoes.
You don't walk on the hard floors though. You walk on rugs. It feels a lot like carpetting but looks better and is more practical.
Why pay for essentially two floor surfaces, one of which you're covering up with the other? Seems crazy to have a load of your floor labeled as "not for using"!
That's like asking why wear trousers if you're going to wear underwear.
The answer is comfort, practicality, and style.
Also, houses already have floors. It's not like you get to avoid having one altogether.
