SMART DESIGN: A FRIENDLY COLORFUL KITCHEN FLOOR!

May 9, 2012
  • Share
small white kitchen with green linoleum floor and black appliances

Ran across this photo of a bright white small kitchen with a wonderful green floor.

Turns out the floor is a huge sheet of green colored linoleum.

I like this idea.  Still keeps the overall design bright and fresh but adds a bit of vivid personality to this cooking space.

Cool thing is that using the right kind of linoleum can be environmentally friendly too.  See below for some green colored green natural linoleum floor options!

What do you think of this green colored flooring?  Like or dislike?  Would you ever consider putting linoleum on your kitchen floors?  Hmmm…food for thought!

Happy Wednesday!

P.S.  On Saturday, I went to a fab bridal shower for dear friend AZ who is getting married in Mexico in a few weeks.  Am off to a destination wedding and am so excited to travel and to see my good friend get married.  Anyhoooo…while at the shower I ran into Megan Dostal, co-founder of Further, an eco friendly company that makes these cool biodegradable hand soaps, lotions and now candles.  I’ve met Megan a few times over the years at AZ’s birthday parites but we never really got a chance to talk. This time we did. I found out that Further was founded by Megan and her husband Marshall. He began making the soaps in their garage out of recycled vegetable oils picked up from local restaurants!  Just 3 years later, their products are in 400 stores and restaurants nationwide!  I love a great entrepeneur story.  Plus the soap and the lotion are quite fabulous too.  Can’t wait to catch up with them at the wedding.  See the soap below!

P.P.S.  Hope you have a great green Wednesday!

    I would absolutely use Marmoleum in a kitchen. I actually want to use it in our laundry room, but hubby is being difficult 😉 The turquoise would be perfect…

    The Further soap, lotion and candle also smell AMAZING. Seriously, I always liked the discreet scent, but the two new ones we have are a tad more potent, and I can’t get enough of the delicious aroma. I want to bathe in it and put on extra as perfume. (full disclosure, i’m az, but i’m also being for real!!) xo

    I think natural linoleum is wonderful. About five years ago, I installed a marbled charcoal-color Marmoleum in the kitchen of my previous house, and I was very happy with it. My kids loved it because it is so comfortable on bare feet. I hope to use it again someday in my new house. It works well in both vintage and modern interiors.

    My daughter just found this amazing product and is using it throughout a re-do she’s undertaking. She says the wood styles are awesome.

    I love the green against the stark white kitchen–talk about a unique and unexpected POP of color! Love it!

    I used the light tan and darker tan marmoleum in a checker-board pattern in our laundry room and mud room. I loved it. I would have gone a bit bolder in my color choices but I knew we’d be moving in a couple of years so I kept it a bit more neutral. It was great and looked like new when we moved three years later. (And not a scratch on it from my dog’s nails!)

    I put the green Marmoleum (upper right corner) in my kitchen and breakfast room with a gray inlay border. I have white cabinets and honed black granite counters. I went one step further and painted the walls a green too. The floor is so comfortable to stand on for long periods of time.

Before you start moving furniture, ask yourself thBefore you start moving furniture, ask yourself these three questions:
Does this improve the room’s function?
Does it create a better focal point?
Does it make the space easier to walk through?
If the answer is “no” to all three, maybe it’s just the rearranging itch talking. 😅
Save this for the next time you’re tempted to move every piece of furniture in your house.

If you only have 10 minutes, focus on these three things:
1. Make the bed. It instantly makes the whole room look cleaner.
2. Fold or straighten the throw blanket and pillows.
3. Clear visible clutter from nightstands and the floor.
That’s it. Those three steps make the biggest visual impact without deep cleaning.

Black is not a bold choice. It’s a neutral, and one of the most versatile ones in design.
The rooms that get it right treat black the same way others treat white or greige: as a foundation that lets everything else breathe. The texture of the wall. The warmth of the wood. The drama of the marble. Black doesn’t compete, it amplifies.
Save this the next time someone talks you out of going dark. 🖤
