Let’s dive in and discuss the tips.
Tip 1: choose large format shower tile
This cuts down on cleaning and makes the tile to grout ration high…meaning fewer grout joints
Tip 2: choose large format floor tile
Same reasons why you want large tile in the shower and one extra tip…get the floor tile that has grip to it to prevent slips and falls
NOTE: I totally get that you might want smaller tiles, and that’s cool, but if you want less cleaning then large tiles are the way to go.
Tip 3: Tile up to the ceiling
Why leave a 12″ piece of drywall between your tile and ceiling? If you’re tall there’s a big chance water will splash on this drywall and ruin it over time…just tile to the ceiling 🙂
We have a total of 10 super amazing tips in the video.
So watch it for all the juicy details

Thanks dude you rock
I have glazed my drywall with two component lacquer that makes it waterproof. It is so easy to clean too.
Great points. I have a simple question. I am about to remodel my master bathroom and get exactly the same tile. I am a first time DIY. I want layout tile not only in the shower area but also in other areas. Do I need to change those walls to some waterproof? Or I could just directly put mortar and adhesive the tile? Thank you very much! I like watching your video!
Do you have any videos on how to replace cracked shower wall tiles?
