I'm refitting our downstairs WC. We want to fit large, rectified edge tiles to all the walls and the floor. The room is slightly larger than common tiles sizes though. Stripped to the concrete floor and bare plaster walls, the room is 940mm wide and 1350mm long (plus a bit for a concealed cistern. Tile sizes come in 900mm, 600mm, 450mm and 300mm.

900mm tiles on the floor would be 10mm short on either side. Two 450mm or three 300mm tiles would be the same. 600mm tiles would have a lot of waste.

900mm tiles would work on the side walls, though every one would have to be cut. 600mm would look awful as there'd be one full size row down the middle and two rows of 365mm either side. 300mm square tiles or smaller is just not the look I'm going for.

What creative ways can you think of that makes tiles fit a room that is just slightly larger than ideal?
