There are still carpeted bedrooms because it tends to be softer. But I think the trend is to do one floor pretty much throughout the house and then use area rugs. Another big trend is to have completely bare floors. People want very large-scale furniture. A standard seven-foot sofa is now eight or nine feet.
Cocktail tables are much higher with maybe a shelf in the bottom.
A lot of my clients are doing away with their living rooms. Many people like the idea of the master bedroom on the first floor and the children upstairs and away. I also find that many people are now doing theaters. They will have a television in their family room, but a trend is to actually do a room that is just a theater. It may be on a lower level of the house, but it is usually a separate room that has a big screen projection TV and big comfortable lounge chairs and tables.
