In this Southampton renovation of a 1960's ranch house, architect Elmslie Osler added continuity to the interior by carrying blue accents through the crisp white spaces. The kitchen's blue is found in that striking floor...
Blue Kitchen Floor by Elmslie Osler
The project's description describes the floors as tile, but I'm not seeing much more detail than that. Are they some kind of resilient tile material? Porcelain? It's not clear exactly, but one thing's for sure: that oceanic blue bouncing its fresh hue off of the ceiling is exhilarating. See the rest of the home, the Alexander Residence, at eoarch.com.

Wow. while the sterility and starkness of the kitchen is a little off-putting, that blue is really incredible. it does just echo off all the walls, washing everything in that tone. BEAUTIFUL.

Rubber flooring possibly?

(judging by the seems, that doesn't look like ceramic tile, but rubber tiles, which come in 12" x 24" and other sizes from various manufacturers)

Uh...that blue floor is amazing. Is that a fireplace I spot? That makes it doubly amazing.

Well, blue is supposed to be a natural appetite supressant. I don't love it, it's kind of stark.

This photograph is absolutely stunning, but I wonder if it would be a little stark in real life, as Queenbee mentioned.
