terracotta floor tiles too dark for room

[gem717]

I was thinking I could limewash the floor tiles to lighten appearance. Will this work and how do I go about it please?

Hi @gem717 

I think the only way you can change the appearance of your tiles is to tile paint them. Which isn't  cheap for quality products. Approx $200 per 5m square

I think cheaper paints will rub a way eventually. But if you have more paint just re  paint every so often. Also limited color choices.

I like  Rust-oleum Tile Transformations 

Or Retile  gives you unlimited tile  choices.

But cost of tile rip up and  floor smoothing and cost of new tiles and cost of a tiler.

Radical idea.

I wonder in a  hidden area if you sand the glaze off one of the tiles in  a cupboard etc (or a spare tile) What colour is the under layer maybe that is  a good color and you can sand the floor and use a sealer over the top?
