No wonder concrete is so overlooked. I really thought it will feel cold and "prison-like" until I saw the website about benefits to concrete floors and looked at the designs, so yeah, concrete isn't in my mind when I started my thread.
No wonder why people in here over-react when they thought my thread is considered spam, thinking I'm advertising an IKEA kitchen, yet I was looking for alternatives to hardwood floor when it comes to aesthetics.
Thanks.

Hardwood Floor Alternatives That Fit My Style
2016-08-19T00:53:44+00:00
Hi you guys. I am trying to do a search for flooring that goes with my style and I found myself not liking the colors of wood and I am wondering if there are any types of flooring that do not have that wooden look such as one of the photos that have the word "modern" below it, such as this (I don't want to post images here, so I thought I would paste the excerpt here):
Here, this cream tile design contributes to creating a very modern space. The space is sophisticated and filled with strong color contrasts and clean lines. Something as simple as a rug can pull a room together and help add some interest to the tile design. Image Source: Moshi Gitlis
And this is totally neat! Aside from the glossy furniture used in this modern Japanese living space, the floor tiles are very light to the eyes. Image Source: Elad Gonen
Or maybe something that's a bit too bold for me, but it does have that modern appeal:
Tile can also be classy. This black tile design brings a very bold. modern appeal into this room. Image Source: Tiles of Spain
It can definitely match with a kitchen that I took a picture while I was at IKEA:

(The floor plan is below the article above the comment section.)
So I would definitely want to match the flooring of the home office/recording studio with the kitchen when I plan to build my house in the near future.
My style of music is new age and based on my two songs in my Bandcamp website , I have not used the microphone for recording and I don't have any physical musical instruments. But in the future once my house is built, I will buy a couple of musical instruments, such as acoustic guitar, flutes, and electronic drum kits, so it's mostly virtual instruments with some texture added in through recording and sometimes I'll be doing it in solo, so I'm into writing futuristic-type music.
With that in mind, could tiles be an alternative without compromising on reflective properties that are provided by hardwood flooring? Without compromising on the style?
I know there are a lot of hardwood floor advocates out there, but whether the kind of wooden floors are classy or not, I would think hardwood floors would give a 20th-century look. I'm a space-age-/contemporary-kind of guy and I don't see hardwood floors in spaceships for day-to-day use. And yes, I've seen "hardwood floors vs ..." threads in the Internet, but my point is every situation and style is different for everyone. I don't know about genres, though... I'm not into vocal recording anyway.
As a final note, if there is a forum that is more suitable than the "Everything else" forum, please move my thread where it's appropriate. Thanks.

For studios, generally acoustics as well as aesthetics are major considerations. You want to avoid surfaces that add colorations to the sound. Those are added through effects processors. You attempt to achieve sonic neutrality in the room itself.
