Hello everyone,
I am planning on putting marble 1 sq.ft. tiles over my brick fireplace.
No matter how I try I cannot get away without cutting the tiles. But I don't know how to lay out the tiles and the cuts so that the end result looks good, symmetrical and not overly fragmented. Should I put full pieces on the inside and then smaller pieces to cover the remaining brick around the full pieces? Should I approach the tiling from the outside in, start at the top and go down down, bottom up, etc... ??
I have been trying to find some pictures online but most of the pictures I find seem to have full tiles covering the fireplace - I haven't seen any cut tiles. I'm not sure - what am I missing here? Is there a resource I can look at, any pictures, any advice?
Thank you!
