New retro-style resilient flooring options from Mannington

 

Resilient sheet flooring — either vinyl or linoleum — are both authentic options for midcentury-style homes. I also like this style of flooring because it’s typically easy to clean — same reason as Mrs. America! Mannington is a big name in this market, and recently, we received tips from two readers — Brittney, then Patricia — about some new options in their product line.

Hi Pam and Kate!

I’ve been shopping for new flooring and recently came across a few designs I thought would look good for my retro redo. When I got home I thought I’d do a search to see if other styles/colors were available in the filigree line. I found that it really was a retro release in honor of their 100th anniversary! I just thought I’d share incase you hadn’t seen these yet. Here is a link that talks about it:

Thanks, Brittney.

Readers, this flooring is in Mannington’s Commercial line. It’s an important reminder: When we retrophiles are shopping for flooring like this, we may likely have our best luck in the Commercial section of manufacturer/retailers’ websites.

Meanwhile, Patricia spotted several new designs in Mannington’s Residential line that, while not exactly midcentury modern, have elements of retro style from eras before and after:

Mannington Filigree resilient sheet flooring: “A 6″ tile floor design with a vintage floral motif, Filigree is a rich and authentic look. Its weathered, hand painted pattern, and ornate metalwork visual exudes an eclectic mix of pastoral classy style.”

Above: This Mannington Filigree design reminds me of 1970s designs. I like the tone-on-tone designs — great for a floor — although, of course, I’d love to see more color colors. Imagine this in… shades of avocado! Wouldn’t that be dreamy!

Mannington Union Way resilient sheet flooring: “A brick design that captures the “Urban Renewal” trend of salvaged architectural materials, Union Way is an adaptable floor. From traditional to dramatic style, this vinyl floor is sure to fit your decor needs.”

Above: Mannington’s Union Way featured staggered bricks. Very low chroma, reflecting so much of contemporary design today. But potentially useful nonetheless. Mannington, can we have: Red bricks?

Mannington Penny Lane resilient sheet flooring: “An updated throwback design, Penny Lane features small-scale marble hexagon patterns with colorful insets. Give your home a modern touch of nostalgia with this charming floor.”

Above: Grayed-out hex tiles with dots, but in a resilient sheet flooring. For a retro hippy house, maybe?
