Would you buy a kitchen with a purple floor?

We will be putting in linoleum floor in the new kitchen. Lil and I are most attracted to madagascar violet, a lavender base with orange and peach patches. Assuming the rest of the kitchen is in a moderate color palette, what do you think of the purple floor? Would it negatively affect resale?

Rachel, I LOVE the purple floor. That is a gorgeous color. Not to mention that lavender and sage were my wedding colors, and I’ve always wanted those colors in my kitchen. So “I” would buy a home with a purple floor, but I have no idea about other people. How soon are you planning to sell your home? I say go with what you love, and deal with the selling part when you are actually getting ready to put your home on the market.
I think it fits with the rest of your house. It is not like the purple is overwhelming. Go for it!
I like it! It would be easy enough to cover up if the next owners didn’t love it.
I *love* the purple floor. Seriously. I don’t know about resale, but I think it’s stunning.
I think it is beautiful! I would love that in a kitchen
Thanks for all the replies! I’m surprised that Alex actually likes it quite a bit too.
Having spent a few months scouring our school district for a new house, I can assure you that almost no buyer will love every detail of your house, so if you love this floor (which looks cool) and plan to stick around for at least a few years then go for it!
