I understand that you don’t like the look of cork. I will say however, that we have cork for our kitchen floor and it has all the properties you indicate you want. It is softer, dropped items are less likely to break and when they do less likely to shatter. It is quieter. I love it’s thermal properties. It is actually more comfortable to walk on our cork floor than our carpet in the middle of the winter. It is naturally water resistant, anti static and naturally resists bacteria. Natural cork designs do not show damage much per the design, however, cork comes in many different options from varying colors to tiles to inlays etc. We have had it for five years and I am quite happy and frankly think it looks pretty much the same as it did when it was installed. Good luck in your decision.
