The option of wall to wall carpet is quite popular now.

Wall to wall carpeting allows you to have pretty much whatever kind of floor you want-basic tile or sheeting is fine because it will be covered with the carpeting. Colors, textures and softness are among the choices you have in carpet. If you have little kids carpet is perfect for those just learning to walk although you'll want a stain resistant carpet. Carpet is especially good for those who despise cold floors in the morning. If it's an artistic look you are going for, take a look at ceramic tile. Ceramic tile can be found in many kitchens around the world. They can be used for countertops and walling as well as for flooring. Lots of people choose this option for their floors because it is waterproof. High traffic areas are not a great idea for ceramic tile because it does tend to scratch easily.
