The builder my parents use for their house did a new shower room for them recently. When he came to do the wall tiles he didn't use spacers, telling my parents that a tiler friend of his had recommended to just lay the tiles as close to each other as possible.
The reason is, if you have 1 or 2 mm spacers then it means you will have more grout to end up looking manky in a few years. If you butt the tiles as close together as possible then there is very little grout.
Apparently it looks great, my mum was concerned that it would look odd but it doesn't.
Now, can any tilers confirm if this is a good or bad idea, only I am about to do some tiling myself and am not sure whether or not to use the spacers I bought now.
