Hi, these are very beautiful tiles, where did you see them? I've looked through all of our ranges and can't find anything similar. You could possibly create the same look with Victorian tiles. If you are interested I can e-mail you some links. Karen

My preference would be for plain carpet. Then have it regularly cleaned. Because of pets my friend has her carpet cleaned 6 times a year and it still looks like new. (5years later)

I have to agree with Crafty Countess about having a vinyl flooring. I would recommend Loose Lay by Karndean. The range comes in wood plank and stone tile effects, does not have to be glued down except around the edges of the room and damaged "tiles" can be easily replaced. They are made for commercial use, so are very durable and will retain their looks for years to come. From our own tenants, I've found that white or off- white works best. You'll never get a colour right for a tenant. In the past, we've hung curtains, which our tenants always ask to take down and put up their own. We've painted lightly fresh or richly cozy feature walls, which our tenants have asked to paint over. So we always use a neutral paint now. We allow our tenants to hang pictures, providing they repair and paint the holes when they move out and use wall stickups that they can take with them. The less colour you put in, the more you allow your tenants to make the space their own.

Light, neutral and no pattern would be my advice, don’t go with anything too dark or contrasting that will break the room into sections, keep it flowing so possibly something that compliments the wall colour.
