Our concrete basement floor needs to be refinished...

Our house was built in 1929. We are going to have to excavate a portion of our concrete floor to replace the original sewer lines. They have collapsed in a couple of places. The current finish is battleship gray paint. I hate it and want to use it as an excuse to motivate my other half to upgrade the finish. I plan on adding a full bathroom in the basement while redoing the piping since we will have everything exposed already. Once the repairs are complete I need a way to hide the new vs old concrete. I'm not a fan of tile or linoleum so does anyone have any good suggestions?

I am guessing that your basement doesn't have water issues. I cannot say enough good things about CoreTec manufactured by US Floors and sold almost everywhere. This flooring comes in many colors and comes with a 50 year residential warranty. It can stand in water and not warp. Armstrong has now come out with a competing product. I suggest you visit a flooring store to see all the fab new things that are available.
Why not use the self leveling concrete, then either paint it a color you like and add woven mats as throw rugs, or stencil a design on it?
