hi all,
First of many posts I think :) I'm just about to begin tiling my bathroom with ceramic tiles on wall and floor.

Wall will have rectangular tiles 45cm high, 31.6cm wide. Floor will have tiles 31.6cm square.The wall will be tiled in portrait. Grout will be 3mm.

Aim is to have the grout lines lining up from floor to wall, hence why I'm spending a fair bit of time trying to work out the best layout for the floor tiles.
I've created a plan of the floor and bathroom units, and overlaid a grid of tiles (see below). The walls marked red are where there will be wall tiles.

bath is in bottom right hand corner, shower enclosure is bottom left. There is a chimney breast, covered by a false wall on the left as well.

Would appreciate any comments as to what is wrong with my plan, or what could be improved on. I've tried to set out the tiles so that there is scope for a room that is not perfectly square!

Thanks,
Alex
