This is major problem and stupid thing that worker do. Not Planning Tile Layout while installing floor tiles in advance. We want to make our finished tile surface appear symmetrical, even if it isn't. For that you need to find the center of the surface first. Then measure in from the sides. When it comes to small area need to pay special attention, where wide tiles at one edge and narrow ones at the other will make a whole job look out of balance.

We usually do not give any attention to grouting color, We use grouting color which is easily available at the time of installation. Many think it is okay to used mismatch color of Grouting but trust me the finished product will give a bad appearance. Make sure to used matching grout according to your tile, if not choose a lighter that your tile color.
