I'm not sure why everyone says the carpet is a problem. I have no trouble with carpet in my sewing room. We have hardwood in the front of the house (built in 1923) and the computer chair tears it up if I don't have a floor protector covering it.
I considered taking out the carpeting in the sewing room but our house is not on a slab it has a foundation with a crawl space underneath so it gets very cold. And it does double as a guest room (there is a queen murphy bed in the room). I also like how carpet soften sounds in the room. We don't have any pets so I am not as concerned about dirt in the carpet.

I’m a huge carpet lover, too. I find the hardwood/tile/linoleum collects too much dust for me. I float my quilts on my LA, and always ended up with lots of dust on the quilts when I advanced or when I’d lay them out on the floor to trim them. I found these carpet squares at Home Depot for $1/SF, and love how my floor now looks like a patchwork quilt!

I'm a fan of carpet, especially for the LA for the same reasons + while standing at the LA, I need give on the floor. I put snap-together squares from Harbor Freigt + area rug.
I sew barefoot/socks. The floor is too cold. I like the sound buffer also.

Carpet is quieter. I moved my sewing room from a room with hardwood floor to the next, carpeted room. Not because of the floor but because the room was larger, better lighting and was in the room with the wondow AC. Old farmhouse with pitched ceilings. Since the house belongs to the daughter...I would buy some fun, colorful room size carpets. Or as someone else suggested...put rugs where desired. I don’t mind vacuuming. Dust bunnies bug me. I have a magnetic wand to search for dropped pins, etc.
