The first tiles were layed just before we left at the end of our 3-month stay. The tile setter started in the downstairs bedroom and layed the tiles along the longest wall in a ‘subway’ pattern. Since all the walls in that room were square, it made sense to go with a simple pattern.

For the rest of the downstairs, since all the rooms are connected and open onto one another with very few square corners, we decided to set the tiles in a diagonal pattern.

The tiles we chose are 60 x 60cm porcelaine tiles.
