I just need someone to confirm my thinking......

As you come in my front door, the hallway stretches straight ahead for about 2.5 metres. The width is such that my floor tiles will fit 2 full tiles side by side, with a decent size cut at each side. Perfect.

The only thing which is making me hesitate is the fact that the door is not central. Am I correct in setting out so that the cuts are symmetrical on each side, or should I be centralising the tiles to the front door, which will leave me with a thinner cut on one side and a thicker on the other?

Cheers :thumbsup:

How wide is the hallway and what size tile are you using?
If you put 2 full tiles and a decent cut down both side is that going to give you a joint running down the middle of the hallway - ie a long 'straight' line.
Is it possible to use 3 tiles across the hallway - 1 tile in the middle and almost a full tile to cut to either side.
Just thought I'd ask!:smilewinkgrin:

Unless you fancy laying them on the diagonal, with a border of about 20cm all around? It would make the hallway feel wider and you would end up with less cut to waste - although more actual cuts, of course!
I should have added this to illustrate. Imagine the right-hand side border and forget the wall tiling though! ;)
