And once again, very important for continuous tiling in the hallway, open kitchen / living area ... make a tile laying plan.

The critical point is always the hallway. Especially with large tiles. It would help to draw the tile grid to scale on a transparent paper and then slide it back and forth over the floor plan with the same scale. This way you can see how to avoid many unnecessarily narrow cut sections. Furthermore, you can see how it results in nice continuous lines into the rooms, etc.

Often, you will come to the conclusion that you basically halve the hallway lengthwise and lay tiles to the right and left from this line.

Hello,
We have the same tile in 60x60 throughout the entire ground floor.

Also in the small guest bathroom, the hallway, and on the stairs.

It looks absolutely great.

But it is important that the tiles are always laid so that they continue in alignment, even at the transition into the rooms and the stairs.

And even in our small bathroom, the tile has an effect, although there are only 2.5 in width and 3 + 2 halves in length.

I would have found it unattractive to change the size of the tile.

Best regards
Birgit

thank you very much for the pictures. The transition was adapted very well. I think I would have chosen the joints a bit lighter, then you wouldn’t see the format so clearly. Are the joints 2 or 3 mm?

The joints are about 2mm.

Then just take a look at other tiles. With 1,000 different models there are surely perfect alternatives. Hallway then with 120x60 - I can really imagine that. And in the rest then e.g. 60x60, if 120x60 is too expensive.


How do you lay square tiles sideways?
