Hello Diyers.

I am looking for some help and opinions. I am looking to replace the living room carpet. The carpet must be 20 years old and is fecked.
The living room is a hard living room - often it would see muddy boots etc.

It has old massive table on wheels and big heavy couches - I believe that may damage a wooden floor - Opinions please.

What about black slate ?

I need something hardy and low maintenance can anyone suggest something ?

Thanks for your help.

I would agree, tiles tend to be very cold in a living room.
Good quality laminate would be as easy to keep clean as tiles
