I continue to ponder what to do as I obviously have to get it right this time, an idea ive had for a pattern is as follows



The 2 areas are similar in width so where the tiles would change direction would run nicely from corner to corner (right to left in the original picture).

Is there anything inherently wrong with this pattern?

Nothing wrong with the pattern, it's just a variation on what u have currently. So if u intend to avoid the half bond I'm afraid this doesn't solve the issue, sorry :(

Yeah, its more about creating a natural flow through the area as short of taking up the tiles in the whole area I dont think I can get something that ticks all the boxes.

In other area's the lips are far less significant so whilst the tiles could be bowed I think its more down to how the area was leveled and tiles laid.

Well u can easily check how flat they are by getting a rigid straight edge approx 600mm long and sit it flat on a tile across the centre on all axis and see if it rocks or by how much! So that would be lenghtways, and diagonally. If u don't posses such an edge then the edge of a spare tile would work, used on its thin edge. Obviously sight along the edge first to check if it's straight and true but generally they are, it's just the flatness that is questionable on occasion.
