Flooring Design Dilemma Entry

Looking for suggestions for tile layout

7 years ago

Hi guys! First time renovating. I was thinking of running some wood look tiles from the front to the back of the 1st floor but our main door is at an angle and our stairs are curved. Wondering if you have any suggestions on the best layout. We aren't really fond of the idea of going at a diagonal. Our tiles are 20x100cm if this helps.

Just because your entrance wall is on an angle doesn't mean the rooms have followed that angle because they haven't. Run the wood look tile the length of the rooms and make sure the tile is not bowed, but rectified so you can have the very smallest grout line possible.

You have to use some type of leveling system to have no lippage to the tile.
