I am getting ready to install a 50 inch by 90 inch ceramic tile entrance from the front door into a hallway to the living room. I am using 13 inch tiles. I am going to have about a 10 inch tile at one end of the entrance. Should the shorter tile go against the front door entrance or at the other end closer to the beginning of the living room?

Daniel, thanks for the quick response. I am not sure if that was the answer I was looking for. The question is should the 10 inch tile be against the door entrance or on the other end by the living room? Excuse the bad picture, but that is the scenerio.

Daniel, thanks for the answer. I went ahead and put the short piece at the entrance before you had relied and it looks good.
