Here are the steps to an easy tile installation: 1. Use the tile mat. It applies like a sticker and you don’t need to use messy mortar. The tiles just stick to it. 2. I used these tiles which didn’t need spacers. They are handmade so the wavy uneven edges created their own natural space so I placed them right up against each other. 3. One the tile is down, lay your tile. If you have short ceilings (like I do) I think aligning them vertically may make your ceilings appear taller. I would do that next time. 4. Grout! Mix your grout. I applied with my gloved hand and then at the end used a trowel to smooth. Then wipe down. 5. Optional: Use a grout sealer. Linking everything I used. Questions?
