One design trend that has been popping up everywhere: word art made out of floor tile. Whether at our favorite bakery, coffee shop, or hotel bar, we've all seen the Insta-worthy examples — you've probably even snapped a pic or two showing off your fave pair of shoes in the process. But you shouldn't have to leave your house to share in all of the fun.
