(Carpets in bathrooms are another. I was also suprised to see that
the Guardian list had laminate floors as a no-no.

Well if you can't have carpet in the bathroom, and can't have wood, what
are
you supposed to have if you don't like cold tiles and regard vinyl as a
modern version of lino.

Stone or ceramic tiles? These can easily be warmed.


Can't stand them ! Reminds me of school showers.

Depends on what you choose.

We have a fitted carpet
which we replace every now and then but why people find this such a no-no is
beyond me.

Carpet in an environment that is going to range from damp to wet is
not good. Curiously, the UK seems to be about the only country in
Europe that does it.



And in any case when you are buying a house, furniture is removed so
shouldn't affect the price, and carpets can be. Really can't see why one
has to fit what you think others *might* like just to get a sale.

That's certainly true....
