Default Another Bathroom Tile layout question

Suppose my two long walls are just under 10' (115.5" to be exact).

My tile is 10" wide. That means I can fit 11 full tiles + another 1/2. What is the rule? Should I do
it that way or should I do 10 full tiles and a cut tile on each end (7.5" on one side and 7.5" on
the other)? Of course, there will be a small graut line (probably 1/16") so, there would be a 1/2 of
graut total on the wall.

How about floor to ceiling? 8 ' = 96". Tiles are 14" high. I can fit 6 full tiles and have 10" left
over. And there will be a 2.5" listello around the 5.5' high mark.

Any input will be greatfly appreciated. I want to be armed with some knowledge when the next
installer attempts to do this.

You use smaller designer tile all around all 4 sides.
