    Hall Setting out

    What do you think guys? This is for a hall we've gotta do. Tiles are 600x600 Compac Quartz. The hall has all sorts of twists and turns, you can see in the bottom half of the pic I played with 400x400's but discounted that idea. Any ideas how the setting out could be improved?

    Setting out travertine mosaics.

    I've got my first mosaics job on Monday. Kitchen splashback with 3 sockets. How would you go about setting out? Centre lines and then adjust accordingly? my worry is being left with tiny cuts around sockets or internal corners that are not square.
