Update A Room In An Afternoon :Flooring
With Parker starting nursery in the next few weeks I have suddenly realised I have neglected my home in the last few years. Mainly because kids are messy right!
So I have decided to update my home with thing that can be done in an afternoon while P is at nursery, and there is one room that Just could not wait- The Bathroom.
Our bathroom has been grinding my gears for many a month now. The walls are marked and the floor is ruined.
Today’s job was to tackle the floor in an afternoon. I totally didn’t think it was possible, but it is.
Thanks to self adhesive vinyl floor tiles from Zazous my bathroom has gone from drab to fab in an afternoon.
This is genuine messy over used family bathroom which is bigger then the photo gives credit for with a cheap and tired lino flooring.
I decided I was going to be an independent women and tackle the floor tiles myself.
I started by ribbing up the flooring, hoovering the ground and marking the centre point on the floor with a pencil.
After that I started laying down all the full size tiles that needed no trimming or altering.
In order to fill the miss shaped gaps around appliances I followed an easy YouTube tutorial which shows you how to make a template from card to make the perfect fit tile, and guess what it worked!
All I needed to complete my gorgeous new floor was
- A ruler
- Stanley knife
- Card
- Rolling Pin
- Pencil
Everything on the list is pretty self explanatory, apart from the rolling pin. That’s to make sure the floor is well adhered. For the record Parker is convinced he’s a real life dolphin and been sloshing about the bath water, and it’s still well stuck.
I highly recommend Zazous tiles for the beautiful unique design, easy of use, great customer service, speedy delivery and well made hard wearing tiles.
You have made me a happy lady and here’s why-
What do you think? Have you used self adhesive tiles?

Decorating can be a stress but well worth it. Love the look of the floor. Such a fab result x

Your bathroom floor looks great! I remember when I redecorated my flat and changed the floor all over from carpet to wood, how amazed I was on how simple it was to put the planks on. I didn’t do it myself but I was looking at the workers and I think that they finished all the floor in just a few hours.

I love this idea – I have horrid tiles in my downstairs loo and think these could really jazz it up

That looks great! I always love when you can make some changes to a room quickly – such as in an afternoon – and it looks amazing, like you’ve spent hours on it.

Oh yes! It looks amazing, well done on doing it yourself!

I like your new floor. Will definitely use that if given the chance! Where did you get those?

Oh these look fab! We recently decorated the bathroom but had to leave the old ugly lino down as it’s a rented house, so don’t want to spend a fortune but may have to invest in some of these 😀

Well done you 🙂 the flooring looks amazing. Such a transformation. I also love doing things myself as it gives me such a buzz 🙂

I absolutely love your choice of new flooring, it looks so stylish and amazing you did it in an afternoon!

I love the pattern of the tiles, I’ve not heard of self adhesive tiles before but what a great idea and time saver for you. Love that you’ve been able to make a difference to your bathroom without spending out loads and spending hours working on it

WOW these make such a huge difference and I love that they’re a cheaper option too as I’m on a budget xxx
