We have some stained concrete floors too, in the addition we built on a few years ago. I absolutely adore them!!! But I don't think it is practical to stain concrete that has had carpet or something else down, because they have to be sanded down so the concrete will take the stain. I know that would increase the costs. But I also know someone on YT a few years ago, that ripped out hte carpet and had the concrete stained. I have seen some painted concrete floors too, on HGTV. I don't know how well the paint would hold up though.
I know you are not wanting concrete floors, I was just replying that we had them and we love them.
