Is it more aesthetically pleasing to use large format tiles in small bathrooms? I am redoing a 7' x 4.5' bathroom. The shower area will be 34" from front to back including 4" curb. Was planning on using a 3"x6" beveled white subway tile for the walls and a 6"x6" tile for the floor, now I sm not sure. Fyi, I have zero design skills.
12 by 12 are you serious that simple people should just learn on the own tiling insanely easy
gray thinset with very light tile?
It looked like about 65% coverage. Should be 95%. I also check flatness with a 4 foot level.
What is on the wall to hold the tile?
