Hey John, Yes, the floor was done in the same porcelain tile. I used 13×13-in. tiles on the floor. The wainscoting was done in smaller sizes of the same tile. In fact, that’s a good point. If you’re considering tiling a floor and wall, be sure to choose a tile that comes in a variety of sizes and shapes. Thanks for writing.–JT

The wainscoting looks great, is the floor the same porcelain tile?

Hi Susan, I’m not sure what you mean by “tall ceramic wainscoting.” The wainscoting shown in the photo is made up of individual tiles of various sizes. Any well-stocked tile showroom will be able to create the size, color and pattern of wainscoting you desire. It’s always a good idea to bring photos of the space you’re interested in tiling, along with all relevant dimensions; it’ll help the salesman/contractor create the proper design.

Hey Yve, Wainscoting can be anywhere from about 32 to 36 inches high, although it’s typically closer to 36 inches. In your case, with the lower ceiling, you’d be ok with 32 to 34 inches high. However, the final height will be dependent somewhat on the tile size you choose. There’s no sense in cutting a bunch of tiles just to meet some arbitrary height. I’d suggest picking a tile size and pattern that you like, and not worry too much about the overall height. Good luck, Yve, and thanks for writing!–JT
