        "text": "Tile layout should be planned from the room’s most visible sightlines, major fixtures, corners, niche, bench, and drain rather than starting wherever is convenient. A centered layout may look better, but the best starting point depends on wall dimensions and the tile pattern. Context: Elite Remodeling & Design uses design development and 3D visualization where appropriate, which can help compare layout options before installation. Key factors: - Small slivers at corners or the ceiling can look unbalanced. - Pattern alignment around niches and valves requires advance measurements. - Floor and wall grout lines do not always need to align. Practical guidance: Ask for a dry layout or marked elevation showing cuts, borders, niches, and fixture penetrations. Decide which wall is the visual focal point. Approving the layout before thin-set is mixed helps prevent expensive changes.",

A marked elevation or dry layout can reveal skinny cuts and alignment problems. Adjust the starting point or niche dimensions before installation rather than correcting the pattern afterward."
