my foyer |
This is my foyer.
It is a floor with linoleum tiles that I painted in gray and taupe. I think if you don’t like your flooring
you can paint them for very little expense and they will stop making everything look bad. This is what they used to
look like and believe me my soul was tortured. From a design stand point they were just wrong.
Painting linoleum will be a temporary fix, and they can scrape, but who cares, they will still look better then they looked before. Wood floors age and scrape, if you
think of your painted floors as changing during the aging process then they will always
look gorgeous. Like in California
a good pair of faded and soft Levis jeans can achieve respect from all who
understand.
I painted these with acrylic paint, then a coat of polyurethane
and liquid floor wax on top. I followed the line of the tile that was already there and it came out looking pretty. If
every now and then you clean them with a floor wax on top they will maintain
much better as they age. It makes them feel good to walk on barefoot too.
This is a Loggia.

Here is some inspiration. Look for the painted tile floors.
