WC Flooring

FaceHead

I'm creating a small downstairs WC in a Victorian terrace house. The flooring I'd like is something like this: The classic Victorian black and white mosaic. 

I've been blown away by how expensive it is, even for an area of c.2.5 msq (the WC and a bit of hall). I'd seen prices of c.£100/msq which is steep, but it's only a small area. Then you get done for the corners and the edges which makes it £500+, which is madness. 
e.g. here at Topps: Victorian Mosaics | Topps Tiles £78/msq, but the main cost is the edging: 7.5m of it comes to another c.£300. Plus I need 5 internal corners and an external corner (another £70).

I'm indifferent to the octagons (above) vs. the squares from Topps there:

Are there any moneysaving options? E.g. Vinyl, or some other sort of traditional looking tile that doesn't break the bank?

Thanks,

And how much are the squares? It's hard to believe that they are very expensive.

That, said,  these tiles are £2.59 per a tile (main, borders and corners) (£23.50 per sq.m.)

The problem is that they are 33x33cm - possibly, too big for a small room.

Whilst they are a bit on the big side for the small room, I think I'll go with it for the £400 saving. At c.£70 for what I need it's back into being sensible. They also divide neatly into the space.

Vinyl flooring with Victorian tile pattern is readily available at a fraction of that price.
