Hollywood Walk of Fame, Los Angeles
I couldn't possibly start compiling a flooring bucket list for you without indulging none other than the much-trampled on, infinitely-photographed Hollywood Walk of Fame.
From Mickey Mouse to Mohammed Ali, these internationally-recognised tiles were brought to life during the early fifties and are still just as prolific today.
Taking over a total of 18 blocks, these star-studded sidewalks make for an unmissable Kodak moment next time you happen to swing by central California.
Tokyo Glass Tower, Minato
Don't look down! Not if you've got a tendency towards jelly legs and rubber ankles that is. Not one for the fainthearted but still a floor to behold is the knee-knocking glass tower up in the Tokyo sky.
The 333 metre high construction features two glass-floored viewing platforms where those brave enough can scale the stairs and enjoy a panoramic view of Minato (and a dose of vertigo, no doubt).
Mosaic House, Paphos
Mosaics are an interior design motif that come in and go back out as the modern-day seasons change but this intricate tile work originated in ancient decades and Paphos is the place to be to witness the real mccoy.
In 1963, archeologists got a pleasant surprise when they unearthed a group of large houses with recognisable courtyards, hallways, bathrooms and stunning mosaic floors.
Each depicting a different ancient myth by the arrangement of tiny coloured tiles, these famous flooring designs are a real piece of history. If you're off to visit the Paphos Mosaic Houses, give me a shout so I can jump in your suitcase!
St. George's Hall, Liverpool
It can be easy to lose sight of what's right under your nose when you're busy mapping out the millions of miles you would love to travel and this iconic gem is just a stone's throw from DCTUK HQ.
Nestled in Liverpool's legendary St. George's Hall, this incredible Minton tiled floor is usually covered up for protection but it is unveiled from time to time for public viewing so catch it if you can.
The 30,000 handmade tiles were laid way back in 1852 but the maritime-inspired mosaic just gets more and more impressive as time goes by.
Casa Batlló, Barcelona
Last but by no means least is the bloomin' beautiful Casa Batlló, which is sitting pretty in the very heart of Spain's cosmopolitan hot spot, Barcelona.
The jaw-dropping landmark was built in 1877 by Antoni Gaudi and still manages to rival even the most out-there architectural projects today.
The building is, quite literally, a true masterpiece and you've got to check out the seven-hundred square metre Noble Floor if you get chance.
