A Trend? Leather Flooring Tiles

3/6/07

Okay, while it's not for everybody, I did want to talk a bit about a bit of a trend in flooring. If you really want to be the talk of the neighborhood, you could install leather flooring tiles (and maybe some of the wall tiles.)

A flooring tile made of leather would certainly be distinctive. The look and feel would add a cozy warmth to a small den, office or bedroom. The material would be a natural sound-deadening insulator that would also stay warm on cold winter nights. As the material ages, the patina will fade and the color will age.

It's probably not a good idea for a high traffic area or any rooms with a lot of water or moisture, such as a kitchen or bath. The wear and tear and overall product and installation fees are roughly the same as hardwood flooring costs. And, leather doesn't really need to be cleaned so you'd be saving in maintenance time and costs.
