Frequently Asked Questions
How do I keep small tiles level during installation?
To avoid a fiddly installation, always start with a completely flat surface and use tile spacers generously. Using a laser level and drawing grid lines on your wall before applying adhesive will help you keep everything perfectly aligned.
Do small tiles make a small bathroom look bigger or smaller?
When used correctly, small wall tiles can actually enhance the sense of space! Using light-coloured small tiles with a matching grout colour creates a seamless look, making the walls appear further away.
What is the best grout colour for small wall tiles?
The best grout colour depends on your desired look. A matching grout blends the tiles for a subtle, expansive feel, making a high volume of grout lines much less noticeable. A contrasting grout highlights the shape of each tile, making it perfect for creating bold geometric patterns.
Can you put big wall tiles above small tiles?
Yes, you can use small, decorative tiles for a lower splashback or half-wall effect, and transition to larger, neutral tiles above to draw the eye upwards and add height to the room.
