    You might need to take into account if the wall runs out too. I generally aim for around half a tile, give or take.

    if your cut into the corners are less than half a tile try finding the centre of a tile and straddling the centre line of your wall with it, or if you've done it that way already, butt an edge up to the centre wall line and work it back to the corners

    the 'half a tile wrap a round' looks better in my opinion than a full tile anyway, and safer!
