Laying floor tile ... Which direction?
Comments (3)A stacked pattern can accentuate the linear qualities of the room. Stacked tile can draw the eye from wall-to-wall, A diagonal pattern can open things up a bit. Diagonal can fool the eye into thinking a narrow room is less narrow, for example, by drawing the eye from corner-to-corner, which is a longer distance than wall-to-wall. Best bet would be to draw a floor plan, make a few copies of it, then sketch in your proposed tile patterns. Here's a link to the first hit I got. A couple of good comparison photos in slate of a 5' square floor....See MoreWhich way to lay tile?!

Comments (9)The kitchen is an add on (added many years before I purchased the home). I assume the measurements are accurate. I sketched it the carpenter I talked to added the measurements and asked me to look for inspiration as I was not totally sure how to create something g beautiful out of something so awkward without remodeling over half the home. The kitchen sits on a frost wall so it is a bump out from the remainder of the house. It's seems weird because it is weird. Visually it makes no sense at all. That is the reason for most of the budget money going to structural cost else where ( releveling the home, replacing joist that were cut, shotty electrical and so forth). So im trying to work with what I somewhat have. Half of the kitchen is not accessible from the underside of the house so moving plumbing would mean excavating costs and so forth. Another reason I don't want to fool with the 15ft wall. I can't even access it from the basement either. It is a solid brick wall and dry walled over. I wish I could tour you all. It's a noodle scratcher. So from the edge of the counter on the pantry wall and backward to the wall wanting to be removed is accessible from the basement. Electrician state he could cut into the underside of cabi and feed a line that way....See MoreLaura Mac
