With a floor that is not enclosed by parallel walls the usual approach is to center the tiles start from a chalk line in the center of the floor so that there s a cut tile on either side of the floor and cut to fit the walls as they are. Use the back of a plastic spoon to smooth the caulk.

Use a wet saw with a diamond blade to cut all the tiles. This happens to be the side of the bathroom where a tiled shower will be and since we re using 2 x2 floor tiles i m concerned about how this is going to look with that much of a running angled gap on that side. Prep the shower area for tile layout to start tiling prepare by running a bead of silicone caulk around the perimeter of the area you are tiling to seal it image 1. Here is an easy way to set your 1st row and the rest going up your wall then lastly the first row is set.

Alternatively if the long wall is not tiled it could be feathered off with plaster to make the tiles look straight but it is not possible to guarantee success without seeing it first. I explain why this method works soooo easy.
