Middle-aged married mom looking ahead while enjoying today This was the week of the floors. All the tiling was done for both the kitchen and laundry room. The tiling continued from the family room that was done last year so now the flooring is the same throughout the three rooms.
When making decisions on tiling, there is more to consider than just the color & pattern of the tile itself. Fortunately, I already made these decisions a year ago so I didn’t need to add them to the list for this remodel.
There’s the size of the tile – I chose 1’x2’, a relatively large tile, so there would be less grout which in my experience is the toughest part to keep clean. Then there’s the pattern for laying the tile. I chose a herringbone pattern but laid at a right angle instead of a diagonal This was to break up the grout lines so there wasn’t a linear focus from one side of the room to the other. Then there’s the grout color. I chose a color similar to the tile color to minimize the contrast since I was going for an all-over stone look. It’s all personal preference depending upon the look you want to achieve and it’s amazing how one variable can affect the overall impact.
