The house I grew up in in the US had a carpeted bathroom. Whoever owned the house previously had intentionally put carpet down over top of the linoleum floor.

The house I grew up in in the US had a carpeted bathroom. Whoever owned the house previously had intentionally put carpet down over top of the linoleum floor. That linoleum was absolutely hideous. Beige with gold veins running through it, paired with the pea soup green sink, toilet, and tub. I don't blame them for wanting to cover that up, but full wall to wall carpet, including under the toilet is not something any rational person should ever want.
