Linoleum Master – Barry Carlton

Have you noticed that almost everyone’s home looks alike? People have the same carpet, the same tile or stone (in the same colors), the same vinyls (again in the same colors). Yet, with a little imagination and with most of the same products, a truly custom floor can be designed to fit anyone’s home and personality.

Whether a geometric design pleases your eye, or, something abstract is what grabs your attention, most carpets, tiles, vinyls, and linoleum offer a comprehensive color palette for you to design with. Combine, intertwine, create, explore. Make your home yours, and yours alone. Express your uniqueness, your personality. Too many of us are willing to be the cookies in a cookie cutter society.

You are an individual.  You are unique! Express that!!!

Consider some examples:

The above example shows an abstract design in a small kitchen. This client wanted an abstract ‘pathway’ from door to doorway. The washer and dryer sit on the ‘teardrop’ area. This client did not have a definite pattern in mind, together we brain stormed until she was pleased with the final sketch.

The following shows another abstract in a “Moxie Java” coffee bistro in Boise Idaho. In this case the client drew her design on the floor and was very exacting in the proper placement of the curves.

And finally we have a geometric design, again designed by the client. She found her idea in an architectural magazine and modified to fit her kitchen and dinette area. Her scaled design was easily transferred much to her delight.

All of the above examples were installed using Marmoleum. However, almost any floorcovering can be a creative adventure.

So have fun, play, and express yourself!
