How about carpet squares? That way if one gets soiled you can take it up to clean it or replace it if necessary. Another option might be large area rugs?
A large carpet remnant that is bound or carpet squares would be a good option.
laminate as long as water is not an issue.
Vinyl plank flooring. Look like wood, ceramic tile, and porcelain tile.
Check your local listings for area rugs. I found a brand new area rug 12'x9' that didn't fit into the original owners space and she was giving it away. It still had the tags and new stickers on the rug and it's amazing.
Thank you everyone. They are all great ideas. 😊
Start by painting the floor with a good floor paint to reduce dust and moisture.
Carpet/area rugs could work, it is soft and a pad would make it more comfortable.
