Bedroom Flooring: Carpet or Hardwood?

{Our oh-so-soft shag!}

When hubs and I first moved to Nashville 4 years ago we always rented houses with hardwood floors throughout (except bathrooms and kitchens). Well that was no different when we bought our first home. However, growing up and through college I always had carpet in my bedroom, so my feetsies had a major wake up call when everything was hard surfaces. {I'm serious. It took awhile to get used to!} Now I'm not complaining, I prefer the look of hardwoods over carpet. But it wasn't until we purchased a rug for our bedroom that we found what we had been missing out on all these years. Oh the softy goodness of waking up to a rug under foot. HEAVEN I tell you.

 So that leads me to this question... do you prefer hardwood, hardwood + rug, or carpet for your boudoir ?

I don't think I would mind the bare wood with that fire going!

Love the ceiling here. The traditional runner is all this room needs 

for a little added comfort under foot.

Looking a little skimpy coming out from underneath the bed, 

but I guess it could do the trick.

I know which side of the bed I'd want to wake up on!

Love the layered rug look!

Now I'm a hardwood kind of girl myself, but it's rooms like these that could definitely make me change my mind...

The colorful pillows and throw really give this room the punch of color it needs to stand out from the white walls and builder beige carpet. This room would not be the same without the pops of black. 

Beautiful room, but are those Bambi stools? Ek!

I'm a sucker for window seats. Cute side table lamp too!

I like this room, but I would change up the matchy matchy mirror.

 Love the rug and tufted bench {the valances (keep the panels) and chair would have to go}

 Complete with mirrored 4 poster bed, this room would be perfect for the ultimate glam girl.

Those paneled walls are gorgeous. Love the colors here.

One day I hope to have a bedroom with symmetrical windows like this one. I'd hang the curtains just like this. I'd take the chandelier while we're at it too.

 Casual and cozy - would make a great guest room.

So what'll it be? Carpet, hardwood, or rug?
