Softer Than Tile

The kitchen and laundry room floors are a warm red mottled linoleum―a totally natural product so there's no off-gassing (putting chemicals into the air). "It's more durable than wood, and it's warmer and softer than tile," explains Laura. You can get it in tile-size squares or by the roll, and it's incredibly easy to clean. Plus, it comes in a wide variety of finishes and patterns.
