Decorate first, if your painting or hanging wall paper it's best to do that first as you don't want to mess up your nice new floors and carpets.
Hope this helps kind regards jason.

Hi,
I would definitely suggest decorating first as you would not want to ruin or get paint on your lovely new flooring
Also, when flooring is required, we’d be more than happy to quote to supply and install the new flooring
Thank you

Decorate after floor work and it's easier to cover the floor. When fitting you may need to chop out architraves etc or if sanding the edge sander may sometimes scuff the skirting boards. unfortunately there is no avoiding this if the entire floor is to be sanded

The preference is up to you but leave a few day after decorating before fitting carpet
