You could always frame the wall or floor makes life easier for the cuts....
This is one I did last year..

Takes a bit of thinking about but once you get going it's easy. Be VERY precise about your 45 cuts..it only takes one dodgy cut to upset the lot

Enjoyed doing the herringbone a lot.
Have to say some great advice which was ACE!
& some total d**s**t advice in the mix too.
I'm wondering are there really tilers out there who can't set out properly?
Took me a while to get the jist of the pattern but realised it was the same as any other set out when I got into it.
Thanks for the help, always useful using this forum

On another note; a mate got me onto this arty stuff in London which I quite like.

If you can be bothered digging about there's a more in depth video online where they walk through it (can't find the link sorry).
& there's a herringbone pattern in there which is awesome!
It's hard to describe but double diagonal, descending vertical over one tile width (or something like that - lovely work though)

Did you frame it first before laying the herringbone?
