Another popular basement flooring idea is to use tile or natural stone in the basement area. You can create some lovely patterns this way that will fit virtually any use in the basement. You can even use area rugs to divide the basement into different sections. For example, you can tile the floor and then place an area run in one section. Place a few chairs and a love seat on the edges of the area rug with a table in the center. This is an excellent way to create a sitting area in the basement while using the remainder of the space for other things.
