No calc just understanding what the middle of a herringbone layout is . You probably put one of your tile corners on the centre line whereas you should put the middle of the end of the tile on the centre lineI now know what to do ,i centred the wall and left was ok but right was nearly a ten mm cut ,there is a calculation ,better to start from one corner sometimes
Sorry it’s upside downHi all,
Following this with interest. Please see sketch( sorry for the blue peter offering, technology not my strong point).
I was taught to setout and start herringbone like figure 1. ( it wasn’t a full wall mind, it was a small panel of a four panelled display piece.)
Is it best to setout start as in figure 2?
Thanks Julian, really helpful as always mate 👍🏼Looks OK to me as long as all sides of your square are equal
Obviously it’s not always possible to have an equally sided square.Thanks Julian, really helpful as always mate 👍🏼
Did you pull out any 45° lines on the wall prior to laying the herringbone or just 90's? Thanks👍Re-clad the sill and side reveal of alcove to give me nicer cuts.
Toyed with the idea of building out the right-hand side reveal to totally equalise it all, but I've already shrunk it down and that would have meant losing a really big chunk of it.
Success with the most worrying part - going either side of alcove and meeting up again above it.

Depends on area. 15 to 20 %.When measuring up for herringbone, what % do you add for cuts/wastage. I’m just measuring up and was going to add 15% 🤔
This is the right way to do itView attachment 100108
To get it centre you line up in the middle of the two red circles, somewhere like the yellow line that I’ve tried to draw on my phone.
