2. warmish? you actually want it warm, or in color

i think if it were me, i'd look into putting heating mesh into a stamped, colored concrete floor

the things they can do with concrete these days is amazing! i'm not sure the heating mesh you can buy for tile can be used in concrete, but i'd sure look into it.

otherwise, go with tile is my suggestion
