I got the perfect ‘stone’ herringbone floor with a £9 B&Q buy – it looks so pretty & you’d never spot the difference
A WOMAN has given her cottage a makeover on a budget.
Asha, from the UK, took to social media to reveal her new utility room with its swanky new flooring.
She revealed she had lots of home inspiration saved on Pinterest, and her husband was kind enough to make it a reality in their new home.
One of the home designs she wanted to recreate was a herringbone stone-tiled floor, but it was a little too pricey for Asha.
So she decided to get the same results on a budget with a B&Q buy.
She headed to the store and found the Herringbone Natural stone Mosaic tile sheets for £9 a pack.
Crafted with real tumbled travertine, these Beige Stone-effect Herringbone Mosaic tile sheets provide a natural stone finish.
She said: “We bought them in store and they are advertised as wall and floor tiles.”
The DIY whizz measured the tiles to her floor before sticking them down.
After, she and her husband used the MAPEI Flexible wall & floor grout in colour Ivory, which she also bought from B&Q for £9.50.
It was the perfect addition to the flooring, which brought out the different beige shades of the tiles.
“(I) Love them! So happy how they turned out. Would 100% recommend, Asha added.
The clip was shared to her TikTok account @asha.kr.george and went viral with over 224k views and 3,000 likes.
People loved the new floor and said they could hardly tell it wasn’t real stone.
One person wrote: “Oh no, what have you done?! I didn’t need to see this, they’re just so pretty and I need them in my kitchen!”
Another commented: “Brill! You’ve done a great job. It looks ace.”
