Hello,
I am currently selecting tiles for a newly built rental apartment. The kitchen, bathroom, hallway, and storage room will have the same light gray tiles. The living room and bedroom will have parquet flooring.
The apartment is 59m² (635 sq ft), and the rooms are rather small. On one hand, it is said that laying 30x60cm (12x24 inches) tiles crosswise in a staggered pattern can visually widen the space. On the other hand, this creates many grout lines in a small area, and 60x60cm (24x24 inches) tiles tend to look cleaner to the eye.
The hallway also shifts slightly at the end, so 60x60cm (24x24 inches) tiles with a cross joint pattern might look odd there. Additionally, there is a slanted wall in the fairly small bathroom.
What are your thoughts on this?
Best regards,
Oliver

Isn’t it rather a condominium you intend to rent out?
To me, it looks like a developer project, so more about influencing the selections than having direct control over the contract with the tiler. Yes, that’s correct, I didn’t express myself clearly. It is a condominium being rented out, developed by a builder.

Anyone interested in how to achieve a cost-effective "tenant taste" in bathrooms can take a look at newer hotels.
