[quote=Anonymous]OP here -- when I say it is "cold" I mean it is "cold" feeling b/c the floors are hard and the kids can't play/sit on the floor, it just doesn't seem as welcoming/casual compared to rooms with carpet.  It's not actually "cold" temperature wise.

In regard to area rugs, I don't know where you find a 13 x 17 or 18 foot area rug?  Seems like you have a lot of little pockets where the marble in front of the fireplace is one color and then you have pockets where you'd see the floor color and then the color of the rug.  It doesn't seem very cohesive.

As I mentioned in my original post, I was considering having a large piece of carpet custom cut to the shape of the room (i.e. cut out for marble in front of fireplace and angled corner of room).  My only concern with this is that one large side of the room (think like a rectangle) is open and that's where the heavy traffic is.  I'm worried that a bound carpet might curl up or catch people's feet and be a tripping hazzard.  I don't want to spend over $1000 (and preferably less).

But, it sounds like the concensus is to not put carpet attached to a hardwood floor EVEN in a room that is supposed to be cozy like a family room?[/quote]
