I need to replace the carpet in our master bedroom. We were planning on
laying slate tile and then a large area rug on top.
A few people have told me this would lower the resale value
(relative to wood flooring). What do people think?
Thanks,
Homi

I think that if resale value is important to you, nothing should be
done. If on the other hand you are doing it because it is what YOU want,
then ignore those who are telling you what someone else may want in YOUR
bedroom.
If we all worried about resale value we would all live in very boring
all white walled homes.

I would not buy a house with slate in the bedroom.

Depends where you live. We have slate in our bathrooms - foyer -
kitchen. It feels great on your feet in the morning - we live in
Florida. As one gets older - it is more stable on your balance to have
tile or wood - instead of carpet. Also carpet builds up dirt - pollen -
and mold - even when you clean it often.
Currently my home is half tile - half carpet. I plan to swap out the
carpet with wood shortly.
