The complete guide
Planning a Sliandtelly grey 8-piece hexagon layout before you open the pack
Hexagon tiles tessellate cleanly, which makes planning the layout the one step worth doing before the adhesive backing comes off.
Start from the centre, not a corner
Mark the centre of the area you're covering and dry-fit the first hexagon there before peeling any backing. Working outward from a centred tile keeps the pattern symmetrical even if the wall itself isn't a perfect rectangle — the trimmed, half-tiles end up at the edges where they're least noticeable, rather than in the middle of the wall.
Building a board that can grow
22 x 19cm tiles sit between SHINEOFI's small tiles and Uoisaiko's large ones. Start with enough tiles to cover today's memos and photos, then treat a second pack as an expansion rather than buying oversized on day one — the hexagon shape means you can bolt more tiles onto any edge later without breaking the pattern.
