Question:

Carpet tiles vs full carpet for a kid's room?

My daughter is 4 and right now she just has a big piece of loose carpet (not even fitted to the room) over linoleum. We plan on putting in different flooring, and I'm thinking of carpet tiles. Is this a good choice for a kid's room?What are some pros and cons with both carpet and carpet toilet?

Answer:

Carpet tiles over full carpet. The carpet in my childhood bedroom has silly putty stuck in it, marker stains, nailpolish stains, paint spills, you name it. Carpet tiles are good for young kids because you can REPLACE them. Accidents happen, kids are messy and getting someone to clean your carpet is expensive. This also gives you the option to change the flooring when your daughter gets older if she wants something different. Picking up carpet tiles is cheaper then hiring someone to take out old carpet and install new.
