I sew in a bedroom with a low loft berber carpeting. I use one of the heavy plastic mats from an office supply store where my chair is. I can roll around from the sewing machine to the ironing board to the cutting board. Works great.

I love my hardwood floor where I sew. Makes cleaning/sweeping so easy and my chair rolls easily around. Plus, if I drop a pin or something, I can hear it.My Moms house where I grew up was new when they bought it, promptly laid carpet everywhere, then when we grew up and moved out, decided to replace it. When the carpet guy ripped it out, commented to my mom she was crazy for laying carpet again over such beautiful hard wood floors, so she had him re-finish the floor and bought a lovely area rug. She never regretted it. It was so nice!

What kind of floor is in your sewing room? My son is moving out soon and I will take over his bedroom as my new sewing room. His room has carpet and my current sewing room has hardwood floors. I plan on ripping out his carpet since it is ?? years old and don't know if it is better to replace it or go with the wood floor. I won't know the condition of the floor until the carpet comes out since it is the carpet that was in there when I bought the house. I could have it refinished or go with new carpet. What are the advantages or disadvantages to both choices?

I have had both. Prefer the laminate. So much easier to clean up my itty, bitty scraps off of. Less time cleaning means more time to create.

I have tile in my sewing room. I really like it. Wood would be nice too. My husband installed some cork flooring for some people, and I would consider that in a new sewing room as well. It's pricey, but very comfortable and easy on the back, especially if you need to stand for a while either cutting or pressing. Easy to clean as well. :)

I have vinyl planks that look like timber and my daughter has tiles. She told me she likes my floor better than hers as it's totally level and doesn't mark as easily as her tiles can. I think I would go with the timber if it's in good enough condition to be used.

Laminate that looks darn close to ceramic tile ...love it.

I have an 1850's house so carpet is warmer.

I have laminate and would never go to carpet - it hides too many pins - things that go "ouch" in your foot. :)
