My house, I am changing quite a lot in here, and was going to completely change the floor as it was all blue and didnt go with the new light grey tiles and light grey door fronts. We found these relly neat patterned white tiles which I have incorporated as randomly as I can. I am really happy with the way it has brightened up the floor and broken up that sea of blue. Now for the wall tiles 😊
