Conservatory Floor Recommendations

Options
Just moved in to a house with a conservatory which currently have these ugly brown tiles installed. As we would be knocking down the conservatory in 5-6 years time for a single storey extension I am looking for a cheap flooring solution to put over the existing brown tiles until then to make this room more 'usable'. I was thinking carpet tiles but not sure. 
Does anyone have any recommendations and if so could you suggest potential suppliers/retailers for the solutions(s) please?

    Not used them myself, but would one of the tiled Ikea flooring options - either a wooden decking, or the tiled effect be suitable?

    Personally I think carpet tiles look a bit naff :-/

    I would also get a large rug from ikea, with the non slip backing.

    Just be aware that because of the higher light levels, assuming clear roof, any carpet / rug will fade quickly

    This was our original plan but with the foil underlay instead to stop any damp when we were not having an extension in the next 5-6 years. Ideally we were looking for a cheaper solution to this. After all the other suggestions we have gone for a large rug. (Thank you everyone for all suggestions)
