Old bathroom floor is gross!
+2
I have a very small bathroom in a very old house. The floor is made up of those cheap stick on tiles. I just want to put sumthing over it. I was thinking about painting it with a cool design or stencil but im not sure that will work. Any suggestions?

I covered our powder room floor (old roll vinyl) with floating luxury vinyl planks, the click-together kind. It is a medium gray barn wood pattern, and actually looks good. It was pretty easy to do and not too expensive. The floor is "floating" so no adhesive is required.

Neat idea! My laundry room is right beneath the bathroom. There is a hole cut in the ceiling exposing some plank flooring in the bathroom above. I'd much rather have the planks than the nasty stick on tiles. Thank you for the idea. I don't have the funds right now but will definitely be thinking about that for my bathroom and my kitchen.

If it is a very old house there is probably some original plank flooring under the many layers of modern stuff. Mine had 5 layers. Ripped them up had to patch a whole that did not match so I disguised it with a pained stencil pattern. Not too difficult and was cheap. Straight lines made with painters tape is a cheap way to paint a geometric pattern.

Ripped up a couple of layers of garbage, and the subfloor in the kitchen and bathroom of one old house. Maple hardwood flooring was underneath which I had refinished. It was beautiful.
