straight lines

and the kitchen goes of to the left or right or strait ahead

 

[pierce]

straight ahead is small toilet , first door to right is living room and the second door end of hall to right is kitchen

i might be wrong here but wouldn't it be more pleasing to the eye if from the front door you could see brick bond

I think i will lay em out brick bond tomorrow an see
the kitchen counter runs at a right angle to the hall, kitchen is 3.4 wide 3.1 in length as in direction of hall. thats why i layed em loke that to make the kitchen to appear longer , thanks will check it out tomorrow.

brick bond (looking from front door) should make hallway look bigger (its optical)

brick
grout line centre of narrow hall
narrow part hall 25-60-25
55-55
inside front door 45-60-60-25
15--60- 60 -60-15

centre of wide hall 50-60
20-60-30
15-60-60-60-15
45-60-60-45
15 would be 11 with 2mm spacers

The whole point of laying tiles brickbond is you like that look, you will only really appreciate this if you lay them brickbond looking from front door as its from this view that you will see the most imo. If you lay the other way then all you will see is long straight lines, not really what you want imo!. Also, I would use a contrasting grout to make this effect more apparent, it will look spot on mate with a slightly darker grout but make sure you get all those joints even, good luck!!
