tile placement help

last year

I’m tiling my own bathroom with 23 1/2” sq ft tiles. I can’t decide if I should center the door or the hallway? Tried to prepay some out to see where all the edges and. The first picture centers the door and the shower. The second picture centers the longer “hall”. What draws your eye more?

Centered on the doorway looks better, because it is centered in the room too.

When you center on the hallway portion of the room, it makes the larger portion of the room seem unbalanced.

I assume a vanity also goes in this space? since you are using this tile, get more and do a more complete layout.

Diagonal it, oriented on the diagonal shower opening. Shift left to right to get a nice lineup at the door.
