In 1863, Englishman Frederick Walton was granted a patent for a new flooring material he called Linoleum. It grew in popularity throughout the 1800s, and as Walton brought his product across the Atlantic, a number of imitators followed him. Walton never trademarked the name of his product, and linoleum became a generic term.There are two primary brands of linoleum sold today: Marmoleum by Forbo and Marmorette by Armstrong. Both materials come as tiles or sheets but are most commonly seen as sheets.

5. Let someone else be the guinea pig. I have tested materials and products on my own house over the years so I can vouch for them in my work. If you are not in the business, you should be buying products that have been well regarded for many years. Even if you are trying to remodel your home using environmentally friendly materials, you don't have to use products that haven't stood the test of time. True linoleum flooring (not vinyl, which people often call linoleum), like in this photo, has been around for more than a century and is a hypoallergenic natural material, for example.

Linoleum isn't relegated to kitchen and bathrooms only. It is a wonderful material for a child's bedroom, especially when you want to create a floor that's bright and light and playful. It's also just a matter of taking that standard checkerboard pattern and moving the colors around a bit.

Love the comforter on the bottom of this bed. I don't recommend these large squares for a bedroom (too many sharp edges) and the color as shown on my screen is not a good one for a bedroom, as it is too close to Mr. Yukk green. (Actual color may be very different than the true product color.)
