Bad layout - return tile?
I bought 13x11 hexagon tile for a powder room wall. 36.25" wide. The tiles are 11" wide. Is there a way to lay this out without it looking bad? I could return the tile, but it was the favorite. I am only tiling the wall behind the vanity/mirror.

You will be centering them on the wall. You'd probably want to orient them so the 13" wide sides are horizontal... on the rows where the grout line is centered, 2 of them will be 26", leaving 2 of them cut at 5" on either side. On the alternate rows where a tile is centered, one center tile is 13" wide, the two on either side will be cut about 11 1/2".

I personally think that is too large a tile for that small an area, but... I'm not a designer and large tiles are currently in fashion. And, the larger tiles will make the job go more quickly.

Thanks for the replies. I am just going to return the tile. It was a pattern such that it wouldn't look right turning the tiles to use the 13" horizontally. I'm going to try something a little smaller that will work out so I don't have less than 1/2 a tile on the sides.
