Starting repairs in the kitchen, or having started a complete renovation of the appearance of the interior, but you should be prepared for the fact that you have to spend enough money, because even in spite of an already approved or calculated budget, there will always be moments that require investment, without this in our life, alas, nowhere. But there are several interesting points that will significantly save both on the choice of tiles, and on its quantity. Non-standard tile laying will require a little less tile, and this can not but rejoice absolutely everyone who started the repair.
Arriving at the store, you can ask the consultant to find a suitable tile of a different size. The fact is that each tile has several sizes, some are often popular, others are smaller, and this varies in price. The cheapest are square tiles of small sizes.
The same applies to the surface of the tile and the processing of its edges. The cheapest tile is matte with a regular, not seamless edge. This will also save on tiles up to 50% of the total cost.
Instead of using expensive decors, the price of which is one piece, in contrast to the tile, which is calculated for square meter, you can use tiles of a different or contrasting color, this will make the room not only bright, but also interesting. The kitchen apron will take on a new look if, instead of inserts, tiles of a different size and tone are used.
Laying tiles in the kitchen should be carried out where it is really necessary and appropriate. You should not spend money on laying it on all existing open surfaces, for example, behind a kitchen set, a wall, a stove, a washing machine, it is not needed at all.
A non-standard laying pattern will also help to significantly save on the total consumption of the tile and related materials for laying and grouting the joints. Changing the diagonal styling to the classic straight line will reduce consumption by 10%. But simple shifts of tiles in different directions will save a lot of time, effort, and most importantly, funds for it trimming, and in a large room with many angles, this will save several boxes tiles.
Replacing classic mosaics made of expensive glass, tiles and nets with ordinary false mosaics, consisting of one tile, the surface of which is cut into small equal parts will give a significant savings. Its price is calculated per square meter, and not apiece.
