Nowadays, homeowners love to clad half their bathroom walls. Not only does it help them save some dollars on the travertine panels, but it looks unique. A half-tiled wall looks quite stylish. If you are going for the half-tiled look, make sure you cut the top edges of the tile. You can also cut each slab into half. In order to measure the wall, you will need a measuring tape and a marker. If you would like to install the tile on the entire wall, draw a line in the center of the wall and place a 1×2 board.
