diy faux tile floor

Anyone who has had to live or work on top of plain concrete or stained carpet knows that flooring can make a huge difference to a space. And unlike a wall, you can’t just whack a cool painting over it. What you can do, though, is get your DIY hat on (real or metaphorical hat, we don’t mind) and create your own faux tiles. Don’t worry if it sounds too complicated – Elsie of A Beautiful Mess has put together a super-straightforward set of instructions for even the most clumsy crafter. Just look how fabulous her painted star tiles look! If there’s a basement you’ve always wanted to turn into a studio, or work area that desperately needs a makeover… now’s the time.
