Before you start: think Safety

Tiling is a relatively safe task, but like any form of DIY it’s sensible to take precautions. 

It can also pay to know the location of any hot water pipes in your bathroom walls. The same goes for any electrical connections. If you’re unsure of where the pipes are located, you can use a pipe locator to easily find any pipes. 

You may also want to switch off the water and electricity supplies to your bathroom before you start work. 

How To Tile A Bathroom

Before we look at our inspirations, we should get the nasty details out of the way first.

To tile a bathroom, you will first need to measure the tiling area. Are you planning on tiling the floor or the wall, or are you making intricate designs with different shapes and styles?

Tile patterns

When it comes to the pattern of your tiled wall, there are a world of options. It’s all down to personal preference. You can stick to a simple linear grid pattern, or you can get more creative. 

Some of the tile patterns that have been popular in recent years include:

  • Diamond. 
  • Linear.
  • Brick bond.
  • Herringbone.
  • ¾ Brick Bond.
  • Hexagon. 
  • Mixed Linear.
  • Arabesque.

It’s important that you buy your tiles with matching batch numbers. This will ensure they all look the same. Given the manufacturing process of tiles, if you buy sets of tiles with different batch numbers, you increase the likelihood that you’ll end up with a tiled wall that doesn’t look ‘quite right’.
