Commercial Linoleum

Ok, confession time. I hate linoleum. Linoleum is the de facto standard middle class and lower floor covering in the Kazakhstani market, and most of it is truly terrible stuff, awful to touch, won't lay flat, and designed to look like some other surface-- wood parquet or tile.

There is, however, so-called "commercial linoleum" used in offices, which is more durable, anti-static, and more sober patterns. As the rest of this room (the home office) is quite conservative (white walls, white ceiling, grey floor molding) we decided a nice deep blue would work fine.

Also, the grey I originally chose, they were out of.
