Flooring for basement....
Ok, so I am having my basement finished off and wondering about the floor. Currently it is a smooth concrete finish, which is painted dark gray. I am turning it into additional play space for the two young kids, plus it will still have my exercise equipment/storage.
I am not looking to make it a theater or living room. It is a walkout basement, so the kids will be running in and out from the yard. I am going to leave the storage part with the concrete floor, but was trying to come up with something that could be used for the kids play part. I don't want to do carpeting, but was thinking of maybe just a very large area rug. I also saw a few sites that sell flooring in squares that lock together. They had carpet finish and also rubber finish.
Anyone do anything like this, or know of anyone who has? I am open to any ideas. Like I said, this is still a basement, used for storage and play space. Any ideas/thoughts/suggestions welcomed!

Since you mentioned the walkout basement and the kids coming in and out I would recommend an indoor/outdoor area rug. Something you can wash. 100 percent Olefin rugs are good ones to use.
