7.Tiled feature wall for en suite shower by @Gillgirl

8. Laundry update with new tiles, lighting and storage by @MsChezzyG
In this laundry makeover, experienced Workshop member MsChezzyG replaced the tiling above the sink and extended it across the wall and down the floor for a more spacious look. Light grey grout was used to match the walls.
Tiling tables
Tiles are also great at building different types of furniture, like tables. For inspiration, check out this gorgeous side table built using MDF panels and white tiles. Innovative Workshop member @lifestylebymari applied the tiles with Dunlop 2kg Wall And Floor Tile Adhesive and then used Davco 1.5kg #67 Cashmere Sanitized® Colourgrout to finish the project.
Inspired by European wall patterns and designs, Mari also created this stunning mosaic tile table by upcycling a discarded table.
