Tile – How to use to seal around the perimeter of a tile floor

bathroomceramic-tileinteriortiletiling

I recently tiled our bathroom floor (nothing fancy – just a 7 x 5 room). In between the tiles, I've used a sanded grout and that's worked nicely but I'm confused on what to use around the perimeter of the floor. There's a gap between the tile floor and the wall – it ranges anywhere from 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch. Should I use grout here as well? Or something else?

Eventually I'm planning to have a base board so no matter what, the gap won't be seen.

Beneath the tile is hardiebacker, moisture resistant paper (two layers, and subfloor.

If all interior walls or, if insulated exterior walls,no need to fill gap with anything. Just get your baseboard moldings up to finish the job
