Design Dilemma Bathrooms

Edging on tiling job.

Thomas Palathra

Hi All, I am recent home owner. Before we made our move, we got our bathroom redone. However we noticed a less than stellar job on the edging where the tile meets the drywall.

The first photo shows the transition. As you can see not great. There’s that wood trim in the middle that he tapered down to the edge. The second photo shows the tile side.

We are in the process of repainting the bathroom and want to keep the same color on the bottom vertical running siding. Any ideas on how to make this look more aesthetically appealing?

thanks Tom

can you take a picture standing back a little farther of the corner to see it all in one ?

That picture is better. Maybe run some paint able caulk down the side? If you're not experienced with caulking find someone that is so they can smooth it properly or it will look worse...

I agree with Emily. Sanded Caulking is pretty straight forward and forgiving. just make sure you use paintable caulk and not non paintable pure silicone as there is a large learning curve between the two.

You could always remove and replace that top wood piece, cut it to length and then put a small return on the corner to complete it and that would look way better if it really bugs you.
