Floor coverings seem to follow a strict rule in the States. In most instances, bedrooms and living rooms are carpeted, kitchens and bathrooms are tiled, and dining rooms and hallways are wooden-floored.
That's all fine and indeed logical given their different uses - except that we, like so many other households, have an open-plan, kitchen, eating area and lounge. As a result, when you come from the hall into the kitchen (through the non-existant door) and past the dining table to the living room, you move seamlessly from wood to tile, back to wood and then on to carpet, all in the space of a few metres.
