3D Floor

I want a 3D floor put down in my downstairs toilet, a mine shaft or a cavern or something. I dont want a sticker, I want someone to come round and "paint" it on or however they put it down. A quick google doesnt seem to have much around in terms of companys that do this kind of thing. Anyone had one done or have a recommendation? We are in the midlands,

cheers

    call me an old cynic if you will but check out this forum post, from a different poster:

    and the post text:

    Hi. I am having a new downstairs w/c and would love to put a 3d floor down. Probably just a vinyl one. Any ideas where I could get one? Would love someting like an exposed lift shaft or the side of a cliff. Anyone got any experience of them?

    and their location:

    Would you know what they are called? I am in the Midlands.

    looks a tad familiar

    I think it involves a lot more than painting it down and i cant imagine it would be cheap either

    Saw this video on facebook a while back knocking around

    Even a stopped clock tells the right time twice a day, and for once I'm inclined to believe Withnail is right. We are indeed drifting into the arena of the unwell.

    I think if you google trompe l'oeil floor/artist rather than 3D you might get more results. Trompe l'oeil is the name given to the kind of 'optical illusion' that you want. I've no experience of this but this website seems to have a list of artists who can do this.

    What on earth is a 3D floor? I would have thought floors are best kept in 2D.
