    Most of the time you are going to center with the room because you want to end up with equal pieces on the 4 end runs of the floor. Its really up to you how you want to do it.

    . Measure opposite sides of the room and mark the center of each side. Snap a chalk line between the marks. Measure and mark the center of the chalk line. From this point, use a framing square to establish a second line perpendicular to the first. Snap a second layout line across the room. - See more at: http://www.miconstruguia.com/en/how-to-lay-ceramic...

    They neglected a step....Use a great sparkling silicone caulking interior the 'crack' the place tile and grout meet wall. in any different case, if as an occasion, somebody showers and gets water on the floor, it gets into this section, go decrease than the tile and start to smash the flooring decrease than the tile. mould and mould may additionally improve in those moist aspects.

    Start by laying your tile out dry to see how it looks. You want to avoid having to make small cuts at the walls (i.e., full tile against one wall and a small cut, say 1/8" at the other wall). It's easier to cut a full tile in half, or slightly less, than to have a full tile on one side and a piece too small to work with on the other side. It's really up to you as to how it looks. I try to make it look best where it's most visual, and hide the cuts in the not-so-obvious places.
