No Special Tools Required:** - You won’t need any specialised equipment. Just some basic tools like a utility knife for cutting tiles, a straight edge for straight cuts, and a measuring tape. **3. Flexibility:** - If you make a mistake or need to change a tile, you can easily remove and replace it without affecting the surrounding tiles. **4. Pattern Customisation:** - You can get creative with designs! Mix and match different colours and patterns to suit your home’s decor, which can be a fun DIY project. **5.
