One-bed London basement flat completely covered in BLUE TILES up for rent
The “wipe-clean” home, located in Walthamstow, can be yours to rent for £900 a month
Forget going out on the tiles, now you can live in a flat completely covered in them.
A basement apartment in London, bizarrely decorated in dark blue slabs, has been likened to “living in a swimming pool” by estate agents.
The “wipe-clean” home, located in Walthamstow, can be yours to rent for £900 a month.
An advertisement on SpareRoom states that the strange property, which has the appearance of a dingy hospital ward, has a double bedroom, toilet and open plan living room and kitchen.
Every wall and floor is covered in the shiny squares and there appears to be just one window.
“It’s certainly not something you see every day,” said Matt Hutchinson, director of SpareRoom.
“This wipe-clean Walthamstow pad might appeal to someone who doesn’t like dust, but it could be tricky to shake the feeling you’re living in a swimming pool.”
The odd interior is likely to have cost the owner thousands of pounds, according to experts.
Sharon Taylor, from Viva Tiling, commented: “We usually get asked to decorate bathrooms or kitchens.
“If you do have something in the living room or bedroom it’s usually a feature wall, using 3D tiling or something unusual.
“To have the whole thing done is very strange.”
She added: “It might make it easy to clean but it must be quite oppressive as well.
“It must make it quite claustrophobic to live in.”
