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.
Tiling bathroom walls not straight.
You only need to look at wall tile laid harlequin style to see how vibrant and fun diagonals can be.
Use the back of a plastic spoon to smooth the caulk.
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.
But obviously it s still not even close to being square.
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.
Here is an easy way to set your 1st row and the rest going up your wall then lastly the first row is set.

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.
The last thing i want are little angled tile pieces running along that side.
It s particularly helpful for a bathroom floor to use a contrasting diagonal pattern if the walls have a straight grid pattern such as subway tiles arranged in a traditional running bond.
Use a wet saw with a diamond blade to cut all the tiles.
Diagonals can hide out of square walls.
