Gray linoleum in the interior

Floor is the basis from which everything else that is brought into the interior is repelled. Not only color, but also stylistic decision depends on what color and texture it has.

Pros and cons of using gray linoleum in the interior

There are a fairly large number of types of floor coverings. Starting from planed boards, ending with polymeric bulk floors. Of all this diversity, it is perhaps the gray linoleum in the interior, the photo of which is presented above, that has both practicality, versatility, and a wide variety of patterns.

Considering all the characteristics of gray linoleum in the interior, it is worth highlighting the following advantages:

1. Durability.
2. Strength.
3. Excellent value for money.
4. The material has a reduced sliding property.
5. Universality.
6. Easy to care.
7. The material of which linoleum is made is air- and moisture-tight, which is an important advantage when laying it. This is especially true in rooms where accumulation of moisture or condensation is possible.
8. Ease of styling.
9. Gray linoleum of pale shades perfectly emphasizes color spots in the room.
10. It is the colors of a grayish scale that best hide the unevenness of the floor.
11. In addition, dirt and debris will not be visible on a surface of this color, which is especially important for industrial premises, public catering facilities or hallways.

But despite all the positive parameters, this type of flooring still has a number of disadvantages:

1. Tactile sensations from touching a bare foot to the surface of linoleum are not natural. That is, the material is not suitable for creating interiors with an eco-focus.
2. Environmental friendliness of the material is not at the highest level.
3. Abuse of gray can create a gloomy room.
4. Do not use dark shades on the first floors or where there is little light. An exception can be only a very very light color, in which there is a lot of white color.

REFERENCE: To many, just gray may seem too boring. To do this, just put a bright rug on the floor and gray will be transformed in the most unexpected way.

What rooms is it ideal for?

Here are the cases in which it is appropriate:

1. Monophonic, under a tree of light tones, an ideal companion of country style, Provence, high-tech, modern, fusion. Such material can be decorated in a loft style.
2. With the effect of ceramic tiles it is better to use in the kitchen or in the corridor.
3. If the color of linoleum is dark gray, then the room should be large and well-lit. Otherwise, it risks visually becoming smaller than it actually is.
4. Bright options for flooring without a pronounced pattern are appropriate in children's rooms.

The following combinations should not be abused:

1. A large pattern in small-sized rooms, nurseries or those interiors where other types of decor abound.
2. If gray is used, then similar shades should be avoided in the rest of the room, especially for dark color solutions.

IMPORTANT: Considering it is gray linoleum, you should immediately make a reservation that it is not suitable for every interior.
