Discuss Gap from last tile before ceiling in the America Tile Forum / Advice Board area at TilersForums.com.

Hi all! Might be an easy question for the pros!
I have a 12x14 tile that I am going to vertically stack to the ceiling. Not too fancy. However from the top of the tub to the ceiling is about 76" which would be 3 tiles (about 72" with a little for the 1/16" grout) That would leave about a 3.5" gap to the ceiling. I don't want to put a trim or accent piece and I'm concerned a 3.5" tile all the way along the top row would look silly.

Can't really find a "best practice" rule for this issue. Would this look odd (3 full tiles and then a 3.5" high tile to finish it off)?
Could any of the experts provide an opinion?

Thank you in advance!
