I'm trying to figure out the best way to lay down 15" x 30" rectangular tiles in my unit, which includes the whole bottom floor—bedroom, bathrooms, and closets. Should I lay the tiles perpendicular or parallel to the longer wall? I've included a floor plan for reference. Thanks for any input!

Going parallel is a good choice! You might also want to consider how you’ll stagger the tiles. There are several ways to do it—like half offset or a 1/3 offset. Have you thought about that yet?
I suggest laying the tiles with the 30" edge running parallel to the longer side of the room. It generally looks better that way!
Thank you for the tip!
Okay! I'm thinking 1/3 offset. Would I get a staircase look if I did that?
