Use a throw rug...can double up as an interior deco piece as well smile.gif

Tiles are cool to the touch and has a 'hard' effect.
That's why some developers finish off the bedroom floors with wood finishes.

Thanks for the suggestion. Its just that it require high cleaning maintenance...
Next time when I get another property, I'll consider wood finishing already...

If possible, I'm looking forward for simple and easy cleaning maintenance on this concern...
Currently as a temporarily solution, I'm wearing those home slippers bought from Jaya Jusco...Actually, I don't enjoy wearing home slippers... sad.gif

I don't turn on the air-con when I'm asleep, but in the morning, the tiles is very cold
Not sure whether its due to my apartment unit which is located at high level

How high up are you...?

The higher you go the colder it gets due to decreased air pressure. Like Genting due to its high altitude the climate is cooler.

I've read somewhere the general rule of thumb is somewhere around 1deg to 0.75 deg Celsius cooler per 100 meters.

Currently at level 17 .... then no wonder the tiles is so cold in the morning based on your general rule of thumb

At 17th floor, you're only about 55-60m above ground. So maybe around 0.5 deg C difference from the ground only. Not enough to explain that your tiles feel very cold. Or is your condo also located on high ground?

In other places do you also feel that tiles are very cold, or only in your present condo?

yeah, its located at the higher ground... Btw, can I conclude that tiles is normally not cold?
I have a different set of tiles which is located at room, living room & kitchen.. Only the kitchen tiles don't feel cold...

Hmm.. I think this have something to do with the material...
