    Default angled wall

    I was wondering if you guys could give me a few opinions.I was thrown a curve ball today with an angled wall,the likes of which I have no experience.I have attached a pic and am uncertain which would be the best way to approach it.

    All advice welcome.

    The grout lines will be slightly out of alignment, but try to open up the upper grout joints and it should look pretty good. As already stated, it's a bit of trial and error until you achieve the look that you want.

    Default Re: angled wall

    when youve got different angles from one wall to another the width of the tile always increases and you cant get the joints to line up. there is no particuliar right or wroung way to go about it, just what looks the most pleasing to your eye.
    well done looks great glad it wasnt mine to do.
