Dos and Don'ts From a First-Time DIY Subway Tile Backsplash Install

We love the look of real subway tile, but we were worried that installing each tile separately would leave more opportunity for error. We ended up choosing mosaic sheets of mini-subway tile—and we were really happy we did! Mosaic sheets are easy to separate into different configurations with a box cutter and come pre-spaced, eliminating a lot of time spacing and leveling. The smaller the individual tiles, the easier it is to make cuts and to fit around awkward outlet and cabinet edges. Dean Sorem, our go-to tile expert, shows us his best tips on how to install mosaic tiles.
