People Are Calling Out The "Modern" Home Design Trends That Need To Disappear ASAP

"“The war on carpets. The fact that they need to be replaced every 15 years and that they get stained makes people forget that they serve several important functions throughout much of the home. There's physical comfort, of course, and they are very helpful for reducing sound coming from traversing a second floor, but one of the biggest things is acoustic comfort. Wall-to-wall carpeting with at least a little fluff is critical to the quality of sound in a room, and how it feels to be in it.”"

"“Don't have carpet in the hallways, the entrance, the kitchen, or especially the bathroom, sure, but leave the living room and bedroom carpeting alone, please! Enough of the cold, hard millennial remodels.”"

Carpeting often needs replacement every 15 years and can get stained, but it still serves important functions in many parts of the home. Carpets provide physical comfort and help reduce sound, especially footsteps traveling from a second floor. Acoustic comfort is a major benefit, since wall-to-wall carpeting with some fluff is critical to the quality of sound in a room and to how the room feels. Carpet is recommended for living rooms and bedrooms, while avoiding carpet in hallways, entrances, kitchens, and especially bathrooms. The preference is to resist cold, hard remodel trends that remove carpeting.
