How do I measure the floor area I want to lay tile on?

You’ll want to measure the floors area into square or rectangular sections. Most rooms are not “4 sided” so or example: The entrance foyer area might be 5 feet wide & 20 long, which connects to a living room that you want the couch & television in, with another section that leads to other rooms of the house like a kitchen, hallway or laundry/utility room. It’s generally a good idea to stick with a tile color scheme & pattern. See the diagram for an example of how to break up your room into square feet. You simply add up each section so you know how much tile you need. Again, we can help you with this math. Geometry is our JAM!

What about measuring my rooms for a custom tile design?

Having too many different colors & tile cuts within an area without doorways to separate the rooms can take away from the overall beauty of your design. There are a few “tile design tricks” to set the rooms apart while using the same primary tile. Tile medallions are a great finishing touch for a front porch or living room design. A tile kitchen backsplash or sparsely used offset kitchen wall tile can give you the “fancy” look you see in expensive hotels & waterfront properties. (We Fancy, You Fancy!)
