Media Room - flooring


I'm doing some renovations and plan to build a media room in my new house. I don't want any carpet in the house so I'm thinking of a cork floor. Then I'll place some foam here and there - corners, walls, etc.

How would that combination work for the sound?

Any tips or advice is greatly appreciated.

Cork flooring can be really cool stuff but based on my audio experience I would pass over this softer material for the media room opting instead for a very hard flooring system with either one quite large or several smaller area rugs (and carpet pads underneath) in all the right places.

In this scenario I would also consider having plenty of overly large loose decorative pillow cushions available to potentially address hot spots.
