Ceramic Tile - Ceramic tile is the other most favorite option for covering a concrete floor. Laying ceramic tiles can take sometime to complete and dry, but the final result is pretty.

The best part of this option is that cleaning ceramic tile floors is much easier than any of the other options.
Paint - Painting concrete is also one of the good flooring options over concrete. Instead of covering it up, you can take up a concrete floor painting project in one part of your home, try your hand at it using all your creativity, and if it works, go on with the rest of the house. Try your hand at different patterns and designs using a mixture of different concrete floor paint colors and techniques.
These flooring options over concrete are the very basic ones that are cost effective and extremely durable too. So, decide which option you want to go for, because it is going to be with you, most likely for the rest of your life.
