when starting from a wall you first need to make sure the wall is square to perfect. use the 3-4-5 method to find the perfect square-- this will tell you if the wall is perfectly squared or not.

In this case I will be starting with my right shoulder-- Stretch your tape measure and point the metal tip into the eight side corner of the room. now measure out to the left 3 feet and make a mark at the 3 ft. point with a magic marker or pencil.

now measure from the corner along the wall down to a 4 foot mark and mark a 4 ft. point

now measure diagonally from the 3 foot point to the 4 foot point and you should have a 5 feet reading-- if you have a 5 ft reading then you found the perfect square starting point and now cut a tile in a diagonal / half and set it in the corner of your calk line square. The rest is way too indepth so my advice is to "Google" How to lay ceramic tile to find your favorite how to video.

Good luck.
