In the '70s, modern versions of linoleum made with vinyl were the must-have floors in kitchens, family rooms, and even bathrooms. Take a look back - or look down - here! Remember those lazy afternoons spent lounging in your grandma's kitchen, watching her prepare your favorite snacks as you sat on the linoleum floor, trying not to get crumbs on her pristine countertops? Well, it turns out, that oh-so-1970s kitchen flooring is having a huge comeback, and this time, it's not just about nostalgia.
Like its nondescript official name, Armstrong Flooring's "Pattern #5352" fades easily into the background of memory - a linoleum floor design consisting of zig-zagging faux bricks that squeak underfoot. See it again, however, and it can feel instantly familiar, too. Chances are high you've encountered it on a television screen if not stepped onto it.

From avocado green appliances to patterned linoleum floors, every kitchen had a distinct personality. It was a time of built-in breadboxes, rotary phones with extra-long cords, and Tupperware in every pastel shade imaginable.
