tiling into a corner

[AJH]

Would someone please try and settle a difference in opinion between my wife & myself re tiling into a corner. Photos attached, she says it would look better with two full tiles abutting in the corner then two half tiles below. Q: Who is right, either or both! Pics attached, sorry but I couldn't see how to rotate a couple of them.

You have obviously started from the corner on the left in the 1st photo.
I probably would have done as your wife says but it could depend on more than what I can see.

 

[AJH]

ouch! by the way I see that my photos have!

No comment. What do you think about the tiles?

 

[prceramics]

personally with brick bond i don't think it really matters as long as no slithers

I would have started as you have set out in the 1st picture with the cuts meeting in the internal corner .

Are you tiling any higher than that? The danger of starting with a full tile in the corner is if the walls are out you may end up with a gap developing

You started with a full brick and half brick on the left and followed the cut around the corner, which has continued the brick bond pattern onto the next wall - it's ok but aesthetically a full brick and half brick in the corner may have had more appeal! Mind you in bricklaying terms a full brick into the corner will produce a half brick out in order bond the course.

Not going any higher but that is a very good point as it's a cottage and I've had to compensate already by adjusting those corner cut so 3-1 to me so far

I see what you mean J, I think it should look fine when it's grouted in but I suspect she is thinking that she wants me to pull them all off and start again!

It will look fine when grouted so don't worry and just get it finished and enjoy the challenge.
