460x910 slate effect tiles in hallway

[johnboy]

Two main questions here. Is it normal to run tiles of this format in a hallway along the length of the hall?
And secondly when it comes to staggering the tiles with them being quite a rustic/tumbled tile is it suitable to use the cut from the end of a run as the start of the next course of tile giving a random staggered joint or is it better to go on a pre determined 3rd staggered bond.

Random would be my suggestion and the run of tile direction is personal choice.

Personally l go random at 90degrees to the longest run, more interesting in my opinion.
