Making tile mosaic in your bathroom: Interior tips

Tile mosaics can look amazing, and it looks extremely trendy nowadays - that's why you can see them pretty often these days.

If you love this look, then it's pretty easy to do it on your own - you just need to do everything right.

Here's how you can make your bathroom pretty.

Plan Your Design

Decide on the mosaic design you want. You can draw it on the bathroom wall as a guide.

Prepare the Surface

Ensure the bathroom wall is clean, dry, and free of any debris. Smooth out any bumps or imperfections.

Apply Adhesive

Use a trowel or spatula to spread tile adhesive or thin-set mortar on a small area of the wall. Make sure it's even and not too thick.

Place Tiles

Start placing your tiles on the adhesive, following your design. 

Use tile spacers to maintain even gaps between tiles. Press each tile firmly into the adhesive.

Cut Tiles

If your design requires smaller or oddly shaped tiles, use a tile cutter to trim the tiles to fit.

Let it Dry

Allow the adhesive to dry for the time recommended on the product label. It's essential to wait until it's completely set.

Apply Grout

Mix the grout according to the instructions. Use a grout float to spread it over the tiles, pressing it into the gaps. Be sure to fill all the spaces.

Clean Excess Grout

After about 15-20 minutes, when the grout starts to set but isn't completely dry, use a damp sponge to wipe away excess grout from the tile surfaces. 

Rinse the sponge frequently.

Final Cleaning

Once the grout is completely dry (usually after 24-48 hours), use a clean, damp cloth to wipe off any remaining grout residue from the tiles.

Conclusion

Tiles tend to look expensive and lux, so if you want to improve your bathroom's aesthetics, then try doing it on your own.

The main thing is to do everything carefully without hurrying - and your design will make you happy.
