Palo Alto, CA, August 28, 2015—Houzz has released the 2015 U.S. Bedroom Trends Survey, which found that 38% of survey participants listed hardwood as the top flooring choice for their master bedroom, while another 30% listed carpet.

In “other bedrooms” carpet was the top choice with 34% of the vote, while hardwood garnered 31%.

Flooring upgrade was included by 77% of homeowners completing a master bedroom renovation, and by 43% of homeowners completing a bedroom redecorating project.

In addition, 35% of homeowners renovating their master bedrooms reported hiring a carpet/flooring specialist to complete their project, while 17% of homeowners redecorating reported hiring a professional.
