My sewing room/office is a mixture that our builder came up with. I guess never to be duplicated. It is beige, but has different hues when the sun hits it. But I like it and has a warm feeling. I don't have a lot of wall space because we had 2 large windows put in so I have great natural light. Our main living area has wood floors, but we decided that a wood floor would take a beating with the way I like to move things around.
We chose a soft vinyl flooring (light gray/blue) with a little cushion in it. My feet love it when I am standing up for cutting. It cleans up great.
