I reload inside, cast outside.
Yes ,the room has a low indoor/outdoor type carpet. It has never been a problem.
Bought a heavy butcher block bench at Sam's and put it inside on a tile floor. The bench is easy to stand and work on or use a tall stool. There are cabinets made to go under it etc.

Works great I love it and keep it neat and clean.

Reload inside, over carpet. No big deal. Air conditioning for the win.
At one time I did some things indoors like hand priming. One day when a large rifle primer went off while I was in my leather chair momma said no more. It was a great excuse to build a dedicated reloading room with A/C.
I have a fully insulated 30X40 metal building that I reload in. The bench is set up in the corner. The opposite corner has a wood burning stove with propane back up for those cold winter days, recliner, beer fridge, and reading lamp. Keeping the temps in the 70 degree range is pretty easy.
it never really gets too hot in there during the summer. I'll leave the ventilator fan on during the night to bring in the cool air, and shut it off when going to work in the morning. It will be 100 during the day, but low 80's in the shop as long as the doors stay shut.

The utility room in our house has the dense foam "puzzle piece" floor. That's where my reloading bench is. You can vacuum or sweep on it. I'd be at least as worried about oil / grease / grime as I would a little powder. The powder can be vacuumed up; far as I know.
If you have an area to run it on, you could either put down an area rug (no stain worries, and you can take it outside and dump it if needed), or put plywood under/in front of your bench.
