Because hardwood floors are simply cleaner and neater, hardwood floors are often the best buy and most solid investment. Carpet will also typically come in one color per room, or for the entire house. Hardwood floors may be mixed with tile, metal or stone to give even more of a classic look to the finished hardwood floors. Linoleum, unlike hardwood flooring, is almost guaranteed to come up with the slighted sign of harsh weather and time. Sturdy hardwood floors are meant and guaranteed to last through almost any situation.
