Default Tiling Narrow Hallway

Hallway is 41 inches across. Using 12" tiles leaves very narrow tiles
on each side, which everyone agrees looks bad. Using 6" tiles *might*
enable me to use full tiles all the way across, but the consensus
seems to be that the smaller tiles create a "busy" look.

Anyone have ideas on how to make the 12" tiles look better?

Thanks



Put the tiles point to point instead of flat end to flat end? I guess
this
would be called a diagonal pattern.


This will use about 20% more material but will make the hall look wider.

The center line grout joint is also a acceptable option.
