Hello everyone,
I am planning to install carpet flooring in my daughter's bedroom... Is that a good idea, or should I maybe reconsider?

I wouldn’t recommend that in this case. With a dust mite allergy, carpets tend to cause problems. The dust settles right back on the surface after vacuuming, so it doesn’t help much. If that’s the situation, I would suggest going for a laminate floor instead and maybe placing a small rug on it where the little one can play.

Okay, that wouldn’t be a bad idea either, I hadn’t thought about that yet... Thanks for all the kind advice...

With small children, carpet flooring can indeed be somewhat impractical. On the other hand, it is much more comfortable for the little ones to play on... Children spend most of their time sitting, lying, and rolling on the floor anyway... and stains can be removed quickly!

My dog used to pee on the carpet so often when he was young... with the right cleaning products, it all comes out!

So, from my point of view, carpet flooring is recommended for a children's room! And regarding the in or out question... it definitely depends on which carpet you choose, what color, and so on.

I would say carpet flooring is not necessarily practical. If an ice cube falls on a carpet or cola spills on it, you can take it for cleaning. A fitted carpet floor is already a bit more complicated in that regard.

I would also say a standard wooden floor with a cute children's rug on top is better. - I once had one for hopscotch, do you know that? Anyway, there was a game painted on it.

A carpet floor covering can be quite practical: it doesn’t slip when walking over it and feels warm when stepping or sitting on it while playing.
