What Tile Spacer Size Should I Pick? As with most parts of your renovation, this will primarily come down to personal preference. Whilst the most common sizes are approximately 2-3mm if you're placing wall tiles and around 3-5mm if you're using them for flooring, you and/or your client will have the final say on the spacing to tile ratio
Here are some tips to help you choose the correct size: For small tiles (up to 15cm), use 1-2mm spacers. For medium-sized tiles (up to 30cm), use 2-3mm spacers. For large tiles (over 30cm), use 3-6mm spacers.
Tile spacers range in size from 1/8-inch to 3/8-inch. Typically, grout lines on a tiled wall, backsplash, or shower stall should be thinner, from 1/8-inch to 1/4-inch, while grout lines for floor tiles and other horizontal surfaces should be a bit wider, from about 1/4-inch to 3/8-inch.
Spacer Size = (Tile Size - Desired Spacing) / 2. Where: Spacer Size is the size of the tile spacer you need. Tile Size is the dimension of the tile (length or width, depending on the orientation). Desired Spacing is the gap you want between tiles.

X-Shaped Tile Spacers: These are the most commonly seen and used spacers and are in the shape of an x as you could guess from their name. They are used where four tiles meet such as in the main body of the installation. You can usually find them anywhere from 1/16" up to 1/2″ in size.
