How To Install A Subway Tile Kitchen Backsplash | Young House Love
You can see how we used a 45-degree angled cut at the top corners to make sure each exposed edge had a finished bullnose (as opposed to seeing the unfinished side of a regular tile). Along this stretch of wall, we chose to install the tile wherever the existing granite backsplash ran, which seemed to look the most intentional (like they had always been there, installed together at the same time).

r/HomeImprovement on Reddit: Doing subway tile backsplash, curious about where to start and what to do with my inside corners
October 30, 2020 -
Hi all, doing a backsplash right after Christmas when I have time off, just planning my layout now. I'm running exactly 99 inches in one direction and the other is 103, maybe 103 1/8 - I'm running to existing door trim and the trim isn't perfectly straight. My tiles are 3x6 subway tile. With my 1/16 spacer, each tile starts at exactly a 6 inch interval.
My questions:
With 1 side being a perfect whole tile plus half tile for my layout and the other being off by an inch, should I start and build out of my corner with a perfect offset leaving one side dead on and slivers at the other end? Or am I best to start in the middle, working outward and have my inside corner have the slivers? Alternatively I could try to find a larger tile edge trim piece, but I think trying to cover an inch with trim will be really tough and look odd.
Just curious what you guys would recommend?

Done a few kitchen back splashes with subway tile. I’d start in the ‘middle’ so that on each edge you have the same amount of tile. Middle in quotes because that wouldn’t be the actual middle of the wall, but the middle of the tile pattern. So if you have a full tile on the left edge, shift your pattern to the left so it’s not a full tile anymore. And so that it matches the same width as the right side edge, giving more then the current inch. But then watch the next row since it’s currently half a tile, don’t want to get into the same situation where you have an inch. IMO of course.

Don’t leave tile slivers anywhere , it’s an installation that shrieks amateur. That often means cutting tile on both sides to obtain a balanced look .

October 3, 2021 - Use a grout float to spread the grout over the tiles and smush it into the grout lines. Once the grout is in the lines, use the float to scrape off any excess. Don’t let the grout sit for too long, and then wipe it off with a damp sponge. With this type of grout, I found I had to wash it a few times to get it clean. Once you’re done the grout, caulk the corners and along the counter with a matching color of caulk...

I convinced him to slide one tile up to the wall and butt the other against it (followed by a few choice words and a bunch of mumbling) and sighted this post as proof. He says he'll be annoyed that one tile will always look a 1/4" shorter, but I think he's just irritated to pull a few tiles down and slow his progress. I am SO happy not to see the jagged, uneven contrasted line in the corner.

That way we weren’t rushed and we could give each tile plenty of attention. Like I mentioned earlier in the post… we didn’t use spacers. We wanted a SUPER crisp look and made the grout lines as small as possible. This isn’t to say you shouldn’t use spacers. If you like a thin grout line (1/16”-1/32”) I say go for it.. it’ll still look great and give you a little more wiggle room to make sure all 4 corners meet up as you install more rows.
