Victorian Entrance Vestibule Suggestions
MinMoz
Posts: 156 Forumite
Hello,
Looking for inspiration. Had hoped to get Victorian concentric tiles for the entrance vestibule for my house but at £700 pre fitting for an area 1.7mx1.7m I am unconvinced on the value for money, though I appreciate it would look very good.
Does anyone have any suggestions for alternatives or examples of what they have done?
THe £700 was from an internet based company who provide the tiles pre-cut and attached to a sheet for ease of fitting.
Thank you.

have you a photo?
TBH 'precut' and 'attached to a sheet for ease of fitting' rings alarm bells for me. My house is newer than that and not a straight wall/level floor to be seen (all slightly off) - I would want a tiler in doing the job properly, especially if they are going to be walked on.Don't put it DOWN; put it AWAY"I would like more sisters, that the taking out of one, might not leave such stillness" Emily Dickinson

Well, it depends.
You would never have to buy another carpet. I don't know how old you are, but you would be able to bring in a pushchair in the rain. It would give your house a "wow" factor when you come to sell.
On the other hand, £700 plus fitting is a lot of money, and if you chose good quality black and whites in a chequerboard pattern instead, nobody would know you'd ever been tempted by something more expensive
