I have wood laminate in my sewing room and tile in my longarm room (former back porch). I like them both, but sort of wish I had gone with the laminate in my longarm room because standing on that hard tile is tiring. I have gotten some rubber mats which help. Laminate does not like water, however. I have 2 small dogs that will pee on it if the weather is bad outside. They have a doggie door but....... If I don't catch it immediately it can warp the edges of the laminate. It's not terribly noticeable except I know it's there. That's a great size for your room. You will love it.
