The complete guide
Getting the most out of Gute's felt neutral 12-piece hexagon set
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
12 tiles per pack — the biggest tile count among the 22 x 19cm-format boards. 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.
