Bathroom: Sloping ceiling border woes :-(

[gez777]

I've got a bit of a problem I hope someone can advise me with. I'm tiling my bathroom and I have a sloping ceiling at one end.
I am tiling the flat walls in white 25cmx33cm tiles. Where the slope meets the low flat wall I am planning on adding a border tile to
finish the join, and then continue this border around the middle of the rest of the flat walls.
The problem I have got is if I start with a whole tile above and below the border, below I go down to the floor with a nice half tile,
but above the border i go to the ceiling with around an inch gap from the last full tile. I had hoped to use full tiles either side of
the border, but it looks like I might have to cut a tile and split it over the border :-( I have tried laying them out upright and on their s
ides and I still get this small gap. Any thoughts? Has anyone worked through a similar problem? Instead of having the border in the
middle of the flat walls, i could always continue it could always continue it up from the join in the sloping wall and run it along the top
of the flat walls I suppose - I just think it would look better with the border at mid height?

Many thanks for any thoughts, Gez.

Why not have 2 borders?.....i have done this before....are they mosaic borders?

Make use of the mosaics in a feature style running vertical in sheet size or strips.

Different option to try.

I presume you are laying the tile in portrait fashion.

Tiles are 330mm high? And you have around 25mm gap at the top, half tile or 165mm to the floor?
If all that's correct then make your cuts to the floor approximately 95mm or 4". This will give you what i believe is the bare minimum asthetically looking cut top and bottom. It will also give you a better size cut on the diagonal into the corner. Yes your border is going to be approximately 85mm below where you want it as the lowest part of the ceiling hits the wall. But this is better because the chances are the ceiling don't run true anyway. So you may find the border leaving a gap or worse having to be cut into the ceiling. I'd suggest using an easy filler and repairing any holes in this section and painting the same colour as the ceiling. This visually will have the same effect.
