Lately, it seems each time I flip with a magazine, I see a high-gloss painted floor – either concrete, lacquer or painted wood. I believe it’s the simplest method to update an old room. It likewise makes the ideal floor surface for a seaside getaway such as this one, in the Cape Breton house of Aqua Vitae Design’s Eliot as well as Alexandra Angle.
Well, leave it to Ikea to provide you this look without any painting required. They displayed these floor tiles in their booth at the 2009 interior style Show, which I provided a gold booth award to since it appeared like a high-end, advanced condo. At under $3 per square foot, the Markland lacquered rubber planks are much more resilient than a painted surface as well as will rapidly freshen up your area in no time at all.
