Start tiling a kitchen from the center of the wall you plan to tile. This creates a symmetrical look and helps to evenly distribute cuts around the edges. Find the midpoint by measuring the width of the wall and marking the center. Begin laying tiles from this point outward, ensuring the layout is balanced. Using a level and chalk line will help keep tiles straight and aligned, resulting in a professional finish.
