Our basement is partially finished and we are trying to finish it. We have a family room, a powder room and a third bedroom. we would like to put in wall to wall carpet but we presume you should not carpet under or around a furnace. Our furnance is annoyingly smack bang in the middle an too close to some internal walls to box into it is own room. What flooring can you use right by a furnace? Is there a way l can have wall to wall carpet throught the rest of the basement without it looking odd. We can not move the interior walls.

What flooring should i use for my basement

It is difficult to picture without seeing it in person but I do not see why you should not be able to carpet the entire floor minus around the furnace.
Perhaps you could find some slate tiles to compliment your carpet color to put under and around the furnace.
You could also get some decorative screens to disguise/hide the furnace .
