This is the flooring I have in the bathroom of my Bombay house.
It is simply customized graph paper from this website printed on photo paper.
Start at https://incompetech.com/graphpaper/ There are lots of choices and you may want to go through it and just play with it.
I can't remember offhand how I made the one above so I'll walk you through making a octagonal one.
On the home page, scroll down to Patterns and click on Octagonal.
I left line thickness at .7 points
Changed the octagon size to .5 inches
Color: clicked on Green
Clicked on the size and customized it to 8 x 10 inches for the photo size and asked for a margin of .3 inches.
Then clicked on Download PDF.
And when that came up, I printed it.
Have to admit that I couldn't find any of my 8 x 10 photo paper so I just printed it on 8 1/2 x 11 printer paper so I could show you how it turned out.
Actually, if you're experimenting, this is probably the smartest thing to do until you get exactly what you're looking for.
I think maybe I should have tried the line thickness at 1.0 points.
Give it a try and see what you can come up with! I think it's a lot of fun.
Really creative DIY idea! I love how you used customized graph paper & photo print to simulate vinyl — such a clever hack, especially for small risky areas like bathrooms. While DIY projects are fun, when it comes to full-scale flooring jobs, you really need strong base preparation, good sealing, and long-lasting materials. That’s what companies like VDF Flooring Contractors in Hyderabad specialize in — they focus on durable finish, moisture protection, and professional techniques so the floor not only looks good, but also lasts.
