Tips for Installing Retro Tile Floor and Walls

  • Define the layout: Before setting your tiles mortar, dry lay all your retro tile floor pattern first. Mosaic tile sheets are easy to install but loose tiles like subways need careful layout planning to avoid awkward cuts later on.
  • Consider the grout: Grout color can change the entire aesthetic of a retro bathroom tile or a retro tile backsplash. White or light grout keeps things soft and classic, while darker grout always adds contrast and defines your retro patterns.
  • Choose the right scale of tiles: When choosing tiles, consider the scale of your space. Smaller mosaic tiles work great in small bathrooms and showers whereas slightly larger formats can open up the space, especially for retro tile wall designs.
  • Consider the tile edges: The edges and transitions between tiles matter in every tile project. In retro tile designs where patterns are used often and draws attention, the details matter even more. Make sure to complete your project with the right tile trims for a finished and professional look.
