Hi Everyone:
It's that time of year again - restless gotta make something for home =
improvement time. In our house, this either means painting some =
walls/trim; or making tiles for flooring. As you can tell by the =
subject line, floors R us. This time it's the kitchen and small hallway =
to bedrooms.
I'm writing to find out if there is a specific ratio for "subway" tile. =
I'm thinking of doing part of the tiles in a >>> off set at the top type =
of design. I'm not sure if it's 3:1, 4:1 etc. or even if there is a =
perfect ratio. Can anyone help?
sam - busy cutting up cardboard templates and contemplating textures and =
colours. Wheeee!!

Sam,
I don't know about subway tile, but you might consider using the
proportions of the "Golden Rectangle" You know, the "perfect" proportions
that the Greeks used when making the Parthenon. That is 1.618:1. A 5x8
rectangle is only fractions off this proportion.
