Hi Guys,

First time tiler but fairly competent DIY'er (in my opinion!)

I've finished a shower room project, and have started my bathroom refit.

The tile, on the whole, has gone ok but I have an issue with tile layout on a bath surround that I am tile.
The issue is which tiled wall should I follow, for the best look, or considered norm....if there is one.

First couple of attached pics just show the project and the other two are quick mock-ups of roughly how they would look.
The bath front will be tiled just as the back wall.

Your opinions would be appreciated.

There.... Thats better... follow the mosaic down the bath and follow the joints of the second row of tiles above the bath.

Personally, I think to follow this pattern as it should go, against what you have is the best option. My only feeling is that if you had planned it slightly differently and maybe not used a full tile on the bath, you could have avoided what looks like a little jigsaw of small bits on the end boxing, but hope it looks better when its done..... other than that, good job so far.

Thanks for all the advice. As regards to 'if you had planned it slightly differently'....I realise now, but as a complete novice at tile, the thoughts of cuts at the top.....window....sink.....wc...etc, the thought of how to finish around the bath was last in a long list, and if honest, not really thought about at all! I am 'anal' about jobs like this, so the two small bits will be neatly done.
I've already started cutting tiles along the lines of your image...it does make sense that way you've planned it out
