I was thinking Sisal? As its lightish beige and hardwearing- anyone have this (or similar) and from where?

Basically dog and big/pram wheel friendly. Mrshora wants tiles but I don’t in this house.

it’ll tear juniors knees apart when they crawl or fall on it.

We have loads of sisal in our house. It is extremely hard wearing but spills are a nightmare. Wouldn’t have it anywhere near where it can get wet or muddy. Some shops would tell you not to use it on stairs because it can be slippy but if you lay it so the structure of the weave is 90 degrees to the steps then you are fine. Comes in loads of texture and finishes so that I’m sure you’ll fine one that won’t eat your kids alive.
