Luxury Housing Trends & Home Improvement Ideas

Just about everybody likes the look of hardwood floors, but not everybody can afford them. Installation is a time consuming process, too, since wood flooring requires a professional in most cases. But today there are lots of products that can give you the look of wood at a fraction of the cost, and in the case of these “peel and stick” vinyl tiles, even the not-so-experienced do-it-yourselfer can install them as a weekend project.

These tiles are made to look like parquet floors. The fact that parquet is made from blocks of wood instead of boards or planks makes it easier to mimic with square tiles.

Since vinyl is easy to care for and stands up even in damp environments, you could have your “wood floors” even in the bathroom. Depending on where you shop, you can get these kinds of peel-and-stick tiles for less than $1 per square foot from sellers such as Re-Store.
