setting out advice for a beginner

Here's a pic of a wetroom floor I did recently.

No worries about small cuts, just fix where they look best.

not started yet as i've got a few other things to be getting on with but wanted to get it all planned out first. I'm actually considering getting in a few quotes to do it as im hoping it should be a relatively easy job to do so not too expensive and ill get a better finish?

yep, those random ones look good but i think my room is a bit too small to do it really as it seems a shame to start cutting tiles down just to create the random look

You'll probably find you have less waste fixing randomly and you can put the joints where you want, whatever looks more pleasing to the eye. If you have brick bond then the joints are dictated by the first row of tiles you fix and where you select to start.
 
is there a special technique for cutting skirting? depending on which layout i choose i can potentially get several bits out of one tile but im not too confident in getting a clean finish with the cutter ive borrowed so was leaning towards using two from each tile and that way making use of the manufacturers finished edge
