I'd like to have a hardwood floor but it is too expensive for me now. I wish I could afford it in several years. Anyway, laminate also looks great. Especially with a beautiful rug on it. I've chosen one of the contemporary rugs from the DorisLeslieBlau gallery. I truly recommend everyone to take a look at their rugs. They are really adorable! I think it was not my only purchase there. They sell rugs of different styles, ages, sizes, patterns, and colors. And I like almost all of them. But I am not a fan of vintage ones.
