Re: tiling archways
Are you tiling the internals too or just the outside?

Re: tiling archways
Curves are normally tiled with mosaics. You can do that as a feature even if the rest of the walls have full sized tiles. Someone posted a thread here recently with ideas on feature alcoves - a few good ideas for you there.
