What is with you Americans and carpet everywhere? It’s grossly unhygienic, horrible for people with allergies, wears out, doesn’t help with any of the workplace injuries/health issues plaguing people who spend their entire workday on their feet - nothing. And it sure doesn’t make the place any more inviting or homely. Heck, I don’t understand carpeting at home either, other than strategically placed rugs. I get that it’s cheap and can be placed directly on a concrete floor, but there are so many types of flooring that are barely more complicated to install while having none of the drawbacks of carpet.
