    Well many people mentioned carpet, but no carpet will last as long, or look as nice as wooden floor. To solve the problem of draughty floorboards, you can use pine wedges, that you hammer in between the floorboards. I've done it a couple of times and I must say it looks pretty nice. You just need to be careful not to get the ones that are made of fresh pine, it needs to be reclaimed pine! They call it Reclaimed Pine Slivers.
