This bedroom floor's striking, Aztec-inspired pattern is made of cork, the bark of a species of oak that's periodically shaved off and harvested without damaging the tree."Modutiles" $95/pack of 12 Miocultures
This chic kitchen is, believe it or not, totally eco: the wheatboard cabinets are a straw-based alternative to off-gassing particleboard; the backsplash is recycled glass tiles; the base cabinets sport sustainable walnut veneers; the countertops are earth-friendly Caeserstone, and the flooring is natural stone.
Ready for a shock? Linoleum, that '50s staple, has always been eco. Made of linseed oil, discarded wood flour, and limestone dust, linoleum's organic pigments impart a timeworn charm. Forbo "Click" from $5/square foot The Marmoleum Store for stores
I was just thinking of doing something different with the bathroom floor. Linoleum has serious potential! Thanks!
