In my experience, baseboard can either be installed before or after the tile, but if it is installed before, the baseboard is installed at the level the tile will be, leaving a gap below the baseboard to accommodate the tile.

How much space should be between tile and wall?

How do you tile a bullnose corner?

The two 45-degree cut tiles will meet together to form a 90-degree turn, allowing the installation to make a corner with finished edges.

1. Place a block of wood that has been cut to a 45-degree angle on the plate of a tile wet saw.
2. Set the bullnose tile against the 45-degree slant of the wooden block.

Should tile overlap in corners?

When you tile the other side of the corner, the tiles should overlap, but make sure you leave a clearance gap between them (place a spacer). Next, use caulk to fill the corner gap, as a regular grout isn’t flexible and would crack in a few months.
