I agree with kudzu 9. Give it some time. Grout width can be anywhere from 1/16 “ width to 1/4”. Your tile is beautiful and the installation is very well done.

I love your tile! I think the spacing looks perfect.

My gosh -what lovely tile!!

How the tile looks on the wall includes a grout line that allows it to lay flat and even.

Our tile is handmade and needed a larger grout line as well. Your tile style is most often seen with a wider grout line.

That second photo is perfection. Congratulations. Would love to see more photos of your kitchen.

Gorgeous

I love it! Has a very European look to the backsplash!

Wow, I love that. And I can see why having the tiles closer together would totally mess up the pattern.

Wow! I'm impressed. Thank you so much for your time and feedback everyone. I'm truly not knowledgeable on tiles, or construction as a matter of fact, so your expertise and knowledgeable opinions make me feel much better.

@barncatz - I can post more pictures once I can get it clean and organized. 😁

I love that tile! Make sure your grout is sealed so that any splashes don't stain it.

Oh, what a lovely, lively backsplash - it's terrific!

Beautiful! One of the prettiest back splashes I’ve seen. It has so much charm and character!

Is that Pratt & Larson? If it is and they are handmade, then your tile setter did the right thing. I used Pratt & Larson tile around a fireplace and my GC showed me how much variation there was between tiles, since they are not machine made, and what the proper spacing needed to be, to get them to lay properly.

So cute! Enjoy, and tell your tile guy a big thank you for a job well done!

@chispa Yes, Pratt and Larson! It's funny that you say that because their website states "We recommend using sanded grout and installing with a 1/8”-3/16” grout joint" which is way closer together then 1/4. I did contact the sales agent I used but she hasn't gotten back to me yet. You guys are way faster! Plus, I'm feeling more confident after getting 100% positive feedback from you guys. Thank you again so much for everyone's input.

@Fernanda Menda, I've spent the last 11 years remodeling and building, so I can recognize lots of tile lines and have collected lots of samples over the years! It can be addicting to see all the pretty stuff they keep introducing every year! I also used a handmade Encore tile and it has a wider grout line too. My tile guy was excellent, so if the material would have allowed for a tighter grout he would have been able to do it. Enjoy your kitchen!

I think it's perfect. Would love it in my house.

Agree with Chispa. Handmade tile requires a larger grout line. Thank your tile guy.

swooning over your tile here.

The backsplash looks wonderful and in my opinion the grout lines are perfect for the pattern.

@barncatz I just took some pictures of my kitchen and was going to show you!

Omg what a lovely kitchen! It makes me smike just looking at it!

I absolutely love your kitchen! What beautiful choices you made.

Love the tile selection. One question - what was your reasoning in not using the tile on the sink side. Nothing wrong, just courteous. Also your paint color is perfect.

Your countertop is gorgeous! Is it marble or quartz?

It’s lovely and so unique!!!

@dianestjoh it's actually quartzite for what it's worth it! Kkkk

@tomi Hamlet - if we did the other side too it world be too busy!
