What/How would you do it

[andy holland]

Ive bought these beveled edged tiles and setting out leaves me with a problem.
As pictured ive set the tiles out this way to minimise the cuts, I have 1 full tile at the base of the picture then i was going to 2 halves then 1 full ect ect but its left me with a long cut ( in yellow ) and if i cut along the middle of the tile its higher than the surrounding tile edges, if i cut 1 side im still left with 1 hight side ?
If i turn the tiles 90 degrees I'm left with 3 small square cuts and with black grouting its going to stick out a mile so hence why ive set them out like pictured. So how would you go about things now ? You can be as brutal as you like im thick skinned

1: Forgot black grout and go for light grey. There's nowhere to hide with black grout on white tiles, especially metros.

2: There's always going to be a compromise somewhere with bevel edged tiles. You can't have a cut tile in the middle so you have to move the whole section and have the cut at the top or the bottom.

We need some kind of metro specialist mmmm if only there was one ............

I think I would lay them like this and have the cuts down the left hand end and fill and decorate the edge.

Took me a minute to work out what I was looking at as I thought the sink was a mirror

I don’t have anything further to add

Can you provide better pics. More of perspective?

Your spellings terrible....

Need to see more of what you're trying to do....

Ah the memories.

Im almost certain I rented a flat with a mate in 1998 with those curtains.

Thank for the replies and interior design advice 🙂
As requested here are 3 more pics for a better perspective, Ive turned the tiles 90 degress for these pics do you think they're better that way ?
I still have the cut though now its a smaller piece even with grey grout would it still look daft ? I cant put the cut on the edge at the bottom of the pic as that will look bad too ... hmmm
The edge near the wall once the plastic edging is in place is 20mm so i bought mosaic tiles and was/are going to cut a strip off to fill the gap, that is also/was the plan on the flat vertical edge from the worktop to the sill ...
What do you think ...

[andy holland]

Why does it say Odd baby Names ?
Anyway, the flat vertical edge i as going to have the mosaic tiles on the bottom along the worktop to again fill the gap

What about having a 45 - 45 joint across the corner ? Drawing a line from corner of window frame to corner edge of sill ? Ie. Bending tiles around the flat sill corner?

Here's one I have just done . Different tiles and situation but same principle.

 

[acaciaguy]

That looks great. I think it would work in this situation but I guess it’s personal look etc

 

[andy holland]

That looks superb but I'm still left with the small cut which would have to move to the bottom of the picture which is the front edge and you dont put cuts at the front so, I think my only option is to return the tiles and buy larger ones...
Genuinely, thank you for taking the time in replying, as well as larger tiles I'll also buy some different curtains.
