<p>You are not alone to think slate/tile feels cold. It is. In floor heating will take the cold off physically but emotionally, it would still look cold. </p>
<p>I did a little digging into this matter. Some historians claim clay/mud floor is most authentic. I am not going there, either. Just trying to put something more practical that wouldn’t look totally out of place.</p>
<p>The countertop is wood, I got an antique stove. Painted wood cabinets. The microwave will be the only thing that has a touch of stainless steel. I am hoping tile/slate floor won’t look too cold.</p>
