Lets be honest, it doesn’t matter how well thought out your tiling projects are if you don’t have the right installer. I can’t stress how important researching this trade really is. It is one of the last products to be finished in your bathroom, and if not done right will jeopardize the entire thing.

There is nothing worse to me then looking at uneven grout lines. Spending money on your tile is also important for this factor. The $1.25 tile you found on sale, although nice, can cause you countless problems. Often times these tiles are not all the same side, and can make it very, very difficult to work with. Rather than leaving a tile edge around your shower, spend the money and use what is known as schluter edging. This will increase the finished wow factor of your product and can be matched in metal finish to highlight all of your bathroom accents.

I rely heavily on the use of HOUZZ for my clients to get ideas for their bathrooms. This amazing site will show you so many different options and a ton of pictures for different finished projects. The use of glass accent, or different mosaic tile patterns, will change the look from the norm. Running your tiles in an a-typical pattern or brick lay style, horizontal or vertical, or even diagonally will make your home stand apart from all of your guests who see it. Think about the showers function as well. The options for what you can do with showerheads are endless. Having a hand shower can be amazing for certain chores, such as cleaning or shaving. Mix this with a rain head and body jets and you may never want to leave.

This can be an area where a lot of money is spent, so please make sure to do your homework!!!
