Raised Wood Tiles

• You can cover the existing concrete floor in your basement with wood tiles that snap together. You do not need any special tools to install the wood tiles; the plastic base beneath the wood slats has connectors that easily snap together. Alternate the direction of the slats and create a pattern for your basement floor. These hardwood tiles are primarily made to resurface your patio, but the concept works equally well in your basement.
  
  

Carpet Tiles

• You can easily install carpet tiles on top of a concrete, vinyl or wooden basement floor. You can create an area rug with the tiles or cover the basement floor wall to wall. These versatile tiles can be arranged in a variety of ways and can be removed and replaced if one gets damaged. Carpet tiles are also a good solution for people who rent; you can easily take your tiles with you when you move.
  
  

Rubber Tiles

• Interlocking rubber floor tiles help you create a durable, functional work space in your basement that is also stylish. You can find rubber tiles in a variety of styles and colors from online retailers and from specialty flooring centers. The rubber tiles are intended to be installed directly over concrete with an interlocking design that disappears so your basement floor looks like a solid surface. You can also remove and replace these individual tiles easily and take them with you if you move.
  
  

Vinyl Tiles

• Self-adhesive vinyl tiles are an inexpensive solution for resurfacing your basement floor. You can easily install the peel-and-stick tiles; just remove the backing and press them onto the concrete. Create a pattern with a border or a solid-looking surface. Vinyl tiles are durable and wipe clean, but you'll have a hard time removing them if you change your mind.
  
  

Vinyl Sheet

• Another cost-effective solution for a basement floor is a sheet of vinyl. Vinyl flooring sheets are durable, easy to clean and come in a wide array of colors and styles. You can find vinyl sheeting that looks like real stone, hardwood and a variety of other styles and patterns.
