What kind of tiles are these?
Anyone know what kind of tiles are used in this floor? Is it a special type of tile, or do you have to create the pattern yourself? What is this style of floor tile called? Thanks.

Hard to tell but looks like a painted wood floor to me too.
Lino is fabulous if you choose the right colors — there are lots to choose from and many fun ways to mix different colors together with borders, patterns etc. Great retro look and very hard wearing. I believe Marmoleum is the manufacturer of “real” linoleum.
Linoleum is one of those great forgotten products. It went out of vogue when vinyl tile came in. At the time, linoleum was just a sheet good, so installation was difficult. Vinyl tiles were so easy to install that linoleum lagged behind.
However, some manufacturers are now making real linoleum tiles that are easy to install. Linoleum is a better product for the environment as it’s 100% natural materials, naturally anti-bacterial, and doesn’t offgas VOC’s during the manufacturing process or after it’s installed. From my standpoint, the only reason not to install it instead of vinyl is because vinyl’s still cheaper, but not too much.
If you were to factor in a little more per square foot to offset your carbon footprint (not to mention the long term health impact), you’d find that the linoleum is a cheaper product.
They make these out of linoleum now. Linoleum is on the rise lately, surprisingly.
There was something in This Old House Magazine this month about creating a floor like this.
Its a painted wood floor. I like the harlequin pattern -it shouldn’t be too difficult to do. But you could probably reproduce it with cut tiles in 2 colors.
I think the the tile pattern is harlequin.
It is sorta like what clowns used to wear or maybe puppets.
It’s in an ad, Bond. It’s in the Pottery Barn catalog (for a bathroom console). I assumed it was a tile. I have no idea.

Is this a floor that you have access to, or something that you saw in an ad? It’s hard to be sure, but it looks like wide plank flooring that has been painted in a harlequin pattern. The reason I say that is because the seams one direction are very visible, but I can’t see any the other way except for by the vanity. Are you sure it’s a tile?
