As title says - tiler is coming to tile shower enclosure tomorrow - tiles are 30cm wide - the enclosure is 80cm - so how do I arrange the tiles so they look good?!

Here are my options - have 2 x 30 tiles and then cut 20cm tile - but do I have the smaller size tile in the corner of the shower enclosure or on the outside edge of the enc - iyswim?!

Or I have the tiles cut 10cm, 30cm, 30cm, 10cm?

The tiles will be laid on top of each other rather than staggered like bricks.

DH is at work at the moment and I'm heading out before he gets up in the morning so I am relying on you all to help me decide what looks best :0

10, 30, 30, 10. It's not good tiling practice to put a full tile up to an edge as you get in a mess if the edge isn't completely vertical.

lovely - thank you - that makes perfect sense :o

think it will look better as well as the two full size tiles will be in the middle of the enc so will be nice and symmetrical.
