Stabledoor Travertine, Pattern Or Not. - Tile Advice

[weirdfish]

After we finally got our shower tray sorted, ( 3rd time lucky ), it's now time for tiling, we have stabledoor travertine going in the shower enclosure and on the floor, but I'm wondering what's best, just a random layout, or try and get a pattern going.
I know it might be down to personal preference, but just thought I'd ask.
I'll try and post a pic of one possible layout I thought about.
The pattern just repeats itself every other row.

That pattern looks nice, and tbh it will be far easier to lay to a repetitive pattern than a random one because you have to lay the whole lot out to check how it looks dry!
Don't forget you'll need to clean them properly before tiling (residue remover), and seal them after tiling and before grouting.....and possibly seal again after grouting depending on how porous they seem.

Random !!

Stable door trav ... Wtf! Lol.

I thought the same. Personally how it's laid out in the picture I don't like it. Looks odd and dare I say, a little amateur fir want if a better word.

I'd lay it random. The stable door design looks "unfinished"

Topps tiles own name for plank trav ... Random length = random set pattern.

Only I cut these from bigger pieces and also used up waste from other cuts.

I done one recently with this exact tile, the customer insisted that it be done in the most random way possible. Personally I think this looks good.
