Creative ways to use tile/s at your home

Then there are things created by us ‘The Homosapiens’ that we can enjoy or utilize at the same time. Man has created many things we can cherish and relish and home is one those.

Many people think decorating home is definitely costly, because they have mainly overlooked the uses of tiles. For your information, Tile/s could be used for many other purposes besides flooring.

Even if you've never tiled before, you can get impressive results without spending a lot of time or money. Here’s something you’ll love it:

1. Table Top

Give an old or ugly table a second life with a new tile top. Square or rectangular tables are the easiest to tile since you need to make only straight cuts with good surface results. If you are planning a custom design, lay out the tile first so you'll know exactly how it's going to look.

For a table you're going to use, apply more adhesive in the center so it is slightly higher than the sides. Nobody wants a noticeable pitch that would cause your favorite beverage to tilt when you set it down.

2. Around the mirror

Applying tile around the mirror or edges of a mirror makes it as attractive as a unique frame. If it's a bathroom mirror, then use the same color scheme of your shower. Uniformity ties the room together.

You can apply the tiles directly to the surface, around the mirror, or on the wall before sticking the mirror. Use 100 percent silicone sealant to stick the tile. Another option is applying the mortar directly to the tiles to stick them. Save the adhesive on the walls and avoid cleaning the excess!

3. Around the pool

With summer around the corner, give yourself a break from summer heat and welcome these pool ideas. Tilling around pools is one of the ways to uplift the entire texture of your swimming pool area. Not only it widens the scope of transforming the entire outdoor area according to your flair but also is eye pleasing.

7. Bathroom Tiles on floors, walls even around the bathtub!
