Evening all. I know it’s Saturday night and probably the last thing anybody wants to think about. Buuut. After some help please.

Tiles 450x450mm. Floor and now walls as well (different colours)

1. Room height is 27mm over full tile. Could split, will leave 100(ish) cuts over raised shower tray. They want a tiled upstand in front of shower tray so thought about carrying this round the whole room. 420 over tray and about 370mm to ceiling.

2. Would be nice to match floor and wall joints. Not sure this will be possible in both directions unless I ignore how the shower tray and bar mixer fall in the tiles.

I’m probably overthinking it all, I like to try to get things to fall nicely with tiles but so many factors here that affect things so would appreciate your input/abuse o_O

Oh and I have been kindly supplied with 15 tiles for the floor. The exact amount needed. I will however have about 2m2+ spare from the walls.
Thanking you wonderful people in advance. I need a beer.

The 420 over tray and 370 to ceiling sounds best to me, if the wall and floor tile are same tile and same grout I would be running wall and floor joints same and try to have best layout possible but always going to be a compromise somewhere
It would have 120mm cut around the whole of the bottom matching the up-stand for the shower tray then full tile off that leaving almost full tile off tray. They are the same tile but different colours. Grey on floor cream on walls and they want grey and ivory grout

If 120 at bottom goes round up stand and perimeter then 420 at tray and 370 at ceiling then I’d go for that, still would match floor with walls
Was pretty sure this was the best way going up. On the horizontal there are so many factors and don’t want to end up with the floor looking odd. Thanks for the replies. Really appreciate it. It’s great being able to bounce ideas off people with far more skill and knowledge than me!
