What's your tiling question? Pictures can be added.
Tiling into a corner. Full tile next to a cut tile or 2 cut tiles next to each other to form the corner with 2 full tiles together above ?
I have seen pics online of both. Is there a right way ?

You want it to look as uniform as possible and setting away from a full tile isn’t usual practice incase the wall runs out of plumb.

Cheers Dave, so you saying 2 full tiles meet to form the internal corner and the half tile cuts together. Hey thanks for the advice by the way.

No try and set it out for good sized cuts , not full tiles.
Sorry I haven't explained it fully . That is my corner, I either have a large tile meeting a large tile or a large tile on bottom meeting a small cut tile.

Ah right. Pics always help 😁 , check if the wall is plumb that you’ve already tiled. If out then set the full tile at worst out of plumb , top or bottom and draw a vertical line from that , trim tiles as you so there is no gaps. Hope that helps.
