Thread: Sewing Room Floor

i have laminated flooring and i love it.

I had carpet in the sewing room prior to the one I have now. My present sewing room has a hard wood floor. I much prefer the wood floor. It is much easier to keep clean and I don't have to worry about stepping on a dropped pin or needle.

Have wood and can't imagine the nightmare carpet would be.

I have a cork floor...it has a look of wood but has some cushion to it. I really like it!

Be happy you don't have what I have - dark purple carpet! It was here when we bought the house and I cant justify replacing this high quality carpet. The previous owner was a crazy Minnesota Vikings fan. It is a bugger to keep tidy!

I'd vote for a hard surface floor. I have cork tiles. There are many colors to pick from, mine are a medium honey color. The cork is covered with an acrylic surface so water damage to the cork isn't an issue. Vac and damp mop very occasionally is all the care needed.

I have laminate flooring and love it!!!!! We live in Florida and the sand down here just grinds away at a carpet and with my lung problem the flooring we replaced it with is wonderful. Easy to keep and I can go barefoot in my sewing room w/out worrying about pins and needles. Use a swiffer dry mop and vinegar water for mopping.

I have carpet too, and don't like it. My chair is hard to roll and pins and needles get lost in it. My DH is usually the on who finds lost pins by stepping on them. Serves him right since he doesn't wear his slippers. He thinks I drop them on purpose. I would love tile, but I'm afraid it would be too cold. Hard wood is my second choice. Probably won't have either, since the carpet is only 5 years old.
