Having two long-haired dogs, we have found that carpeting reduces the number of tumbleweeds rolling across the living room. Dog hair is much easier to vacuum than sweep.
Stairs, however, are another story - it takes longer to vacuum the carpeted stairs than to vacuum the rest of the entire house.
We recently balked at buying a very nice house because the owner - wanting to increase the value - had all the downstairs rooms tiled prior to putting it on the market. What a shame - if she hadn't done that, she would have saved thousands, and we could have bought the house for thousands less. When we factored in the cost of carpeting, it just didn't make sense.
