The chosen color of linoleum should, first of all, be practical for use in a given room, and also be harmoniously combined with the rest of the decoration and furniture. For rooms decorated in the style of a classic European interior or country style, you should give preference to dark linoleum under the laminate. Dark-colored linoleum is also suitable for decorating a hallway, bathroom, balcony, and in a private house – for use on a veranda or terrace.

For small rooms, or rooms with limited access to daylight, a rational solution would be to use light linoleum under the laminate; this will visually enlarge the space and slightly refresh the design of the room.
When choosing linoleum for laminate flooring, the use of white color should be approached very carefully; it gives a coldness to the room, which does not always look good in the house. Such linoleum is acceptable for a living room decorated in a classic style using furniture in light colors, trimmed with gold, in this case the room will look more spacious and have a high-status appearance.
