If you have wood do you like it in your sewing room vs. carpet? Or would you prefer the carpet. What are your preferences and why? We will have our carpets removed (one day) just wanted to know the pros and cons with wood or carpet.

i removed my carpet and installed laminate. it is so much easier to clean up [and see that it needs cleaning]. not only are there pieces of thread and fabric, but the dust from sewing needs more cleaning than i would do with the carpet.

I have a wood floor with an area rug in the center of the (very small) room. Like both. Mind you, the dust bunnies get quite thick as I'm not a frequent (weekly) cleaner. I suck them up with the vac as far as it will reach. My threads and scraps seem to vac up fine on the carpet but it's a very low pile while still being of the 'plush' variety vs. berber or something else really low pile.

I've had wood and tile. Loved the ease in cleaning both. Especially after an intensive removal of paper from a pp project! Just easily sweep it up and DONE!
I'd suggest anything except the carpeting if you're redoing the room and have the choice to redo the floors.

Wood floor and I love it, wouldn't want it any other way. It's much easier and quicker to clean. I have wood floor in all my rooms in my flat, only the kitchen and bathroom have tiles. With three cats it's hard enough to keep it moderately clean, couldn't imagine to cope with carpet.

guess it's a personal preference! I love carpet under my feet. Just the thought of tile or wood floors makes me think of cold feet! Pins come up with a magnet & threads are easily picked up with a quick swipe of the vacuum. Or masking tape!
