Definitely NO carpeting. Hardwood floors will allow you to get all those threads, fabric snippets, pins, etc. that fall on the floor, despite how careful you are. Also, you won't run the risk of accidentally stepping on a pin or needle and have it wind up in your foot, I speak from experience, and at the end of the day you can just sweep everything up and you have a neat floor again. Also if you have a chair with wheels, they work better on a hard surface, that's why they make those acrylic mats for under office chairs. That said, congratulations on getting a new and improved sewing space.

Sewnoma, I'm curious about your memory foam rug. Please describe further. Where did you get that?
OH...and as for the vote...I'll go with hardwood floors. I haven't had carpet in years. My last house had saltillo tiles and this house is still being built, so I only have plywood subfloors at this point. (I DON"t recommend that!) The hardwood will be a lot easier to keep clean.

hard floors clean easier. You can put an area rug in if you need more warmth. another option, especially if your sewing room is on a slab floor, is to put tile in and have radiant heat installed under it. The room would be very toasty in the winter!
