Colorful tile can brighten up the room, patterns can add interest and evoke different design styles, and plain black tiling can even make a bathroom look upscale and luxurious. And since bathrooms are usually one of the smaller rooms in your house, updating the tile can be a much easier undertaking than reflooring most other rooms. Sometimes, you don’t even have to remove the tile you already have–floor tile stickers are budget-friendly, super easy to install, and can transform your bathroom in less than a day.
