I have cork tiled flooring in my sewing room. It has an acrylic layer over the top to protect from moisture, unlike the cork tiles I grew up with 50+ yrs. ago. I love it, it's easy to clean, threads come right up. Just vac to clean and damp mop very occasionally. I do have flooring mats under my rolling chair by my computer desk and sewing machine. There are lots of colors/patterns to pick from.
