More important it's easy to clean, just a quick sweep with a broom or a damp mop. My sewing room might be messy but the floor looks fabulous.
I don't find my floor cold although I do wear slippers during the winter.
I added electric baseboard heat to keep warm only when I am there, and a dehumidifier to control the moisture and protect my machines and fabric, I do have a throw rug in front of my ironing board, but my chairs roll freely and I live in my bare feet. Love my light vinyl floor to sweep and reflect light.
