I have a wood floor in my present sewing room. In my previous sewing room, I had carpet. To be honest, I like both. With the carpet, I was careful to not let threads fall on the floor as they were a pain to unwind from the vacuum cleaner. With the wood floor, I have to be careful that I don't drop scissors on it as they land straight up sticking in the floor. That damages both my floor and the scissors. I am just so happy to have a sewing room that I can live with any floor.
