How to Plan Tile Layout

If you’re thinking about installing a tile floor in your home, it’s important to take the time to figure out the best way to arrange the individual tiles. In most rooms, square and rectangular tiles will fit together in a simple grid pattern. First, establish a series of layout lines to serve as a placement guide by finding the midpoint of each wall and drawing a line across to the opposing wall. From there, you can begin dry-fitting the tiles around the room’s center point, working your way outward in manageable sections to avoid uneven spacing.
