[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]So, if I go with a non-installed bound carpet, should I run it all the way to the walls and cut out spots for the registers/vents? Or should I leave a 2-3 inch border of hardwood around the room (and still cut out spots for the vents).

You should do neither of these, and get an area rug that fits JUST the seating arrangement, as long as all the rugs are under the front legs of each piece of furniture.

Better yet, you might be better off with an interior designer at an hourly rate to help with furniture arrangement.  sounds like, even though you may have a huge room, you have a layout problem and maybe you need to get a shorter sofa and arrange it differently so the back is not to the kitchen (I agree, that doesn't sound ideal).[/quote]

This. Or figure out the biggest rectangle you can fit and have an area rug custom cut to that size, though no closer than 1 foot from any wall. The carpet will define the room.

In new housing wall to wall is usually there because people didn't pay the upgrade to get hardwood floors, so it looks cheap because people associate it with cheapness.[/quote]
