Oklahoma City-based To Market was founded in 1998 to bring “Alternative Materials for Interior Spaces” to the marketplace. With an emphasis on flooring, the company partners with manufacturers of sustainable products that can be recycled.

To Market seems initially driven to support the needs of larger, commercial spaces. However, many of the product lines would be perfectly suited for at-home living, like Unicork flooring (pictured above) and Preserve Bamboo (below). We absolutely love the swirly/marble effect of some of the cork options, and think it would look really striking in a smaller room (as opposed to potential overpowering in a larger room. Thoughts?)

Yum. Love that glossy cork. Looks good enough to eat and has restarted my kitchen floor debate even though I was SURE I'd decided on black and white checkerboard tiles. The bamboo's looking pretty fine from here too.

I just bought a house with the unicork (or similar) flooring in the kitchen. I absolutely love it! It's softer than tile so it's easier on my feet when spending all day in the kitchen. It's also much warmer than tile or stone which comes in handy on those chilly mornings in the pacific northwest. The swirls and variations in the tiles add interest to what would otherwise be a pretty boring space.

It's one of the first things friends comment on when they visit. Always glowing reviews.

Would this work for a basement (900 sq feet)?

As long as there is no chance of flooding. Cork, like most natural will expand and warp if exposed to standing water. If flooding isn't an issue I think it would be a warm and inviting option for a basement.
