#TABLES TILED FULL#
We decided to go for no cutting and went with the full tiles laid from the centre in a symmetrical fashion. With cut tiles, we won’t be able to do it symmetrically but will have to contend with asymmetrical cuts on two edges of the table. With full tiles, there’s an inch of of untiled table around the tile which would be too big to grout over. We tried two options with the 5mm spacer: full tiles and cut tiles. These tiles are 9.5cm square and thick so we opted for a 5mm spacer. This also changed the overall look and feel of the table top.
The yellow and black line also has a clean geometric look whereas the blue tile has antiqued weathered corners and edges. The curves on the edges are also shallower than the corner curves so with this tile, it’s really tricky to get an even level grout line throughout. In contrast, the blue tile slopes down at the edges which makes it impossible to even out the grout lines. The yellow and black tile is flat all the way to the edges. The surface of your tile will impact the overall look of the table top. This was something I had not thought of before and probably would have influenced my decision. Think about the surface of the tile whether it’s flat or curved
#TABLES TILED FULL SIZE#
When the full size yellow and black tile sample came, I completely changed my mind about it and went for the Geo Blue Formentera porcelain tile. It’s worth it in my opinion and they are not that expensive at all, often costing just a couple of pounds. But to be sure I made the right choice, I paid for a full size sample. I had this yellow and black Adorne Santiago tile as a cut sample which looked magnificent on my black table background. I think it’s hard to visualise and make the right decision with cut tiles which are often 1/4 of the full size tile or smaller.

These were the two tiles that I had difficulty deciding on. They asked me to choose any tile from their range and I ordered about a dozen samples. My kids did a lot of painting in the summer and I underestimated the mess and paint splashes that showed up against the black – yet another impetus for tiling this table.Ī paid partnership with Tile Giant was perfectly timed to achieve this project. It’s a dark space even with the skylights and window. But whilst it was durable and easy to wipe clean, a lighter colour was needed to lift the light in this room. I used Frenchic Black Jack which is waterproof. It looked good with the sturdy black paint that didn’t chip at all.
#TABLES TILED PATCH#
I’ve been wanting to tile this table for the longest time but always thought it would be a huge job and expense so I opted for patch up measures for the time being.
#TABLES TILED CRACKED#
It looked good but unfortunately the paint stripper ruined parts of the wood on top so that they cracked and peeled. I stripped it a couple of years ago and waxed it with a whitewash wax. Perfect except for the top which was varnished in dark gloopy stain hence I always covered it with a tablecloth. The table is perfect in size, solid and has beautiful legs.
