"Normally you should stsrt from the middle of the window.
Other than that a measurement from either side of the wall
To make sure your cuts are equal and follow on"

"Find the midpoint of each wall and snap chalk lines on the floor. The line crossing at the room's center are the starting point of the tile. Lay a row of tiles along a straightedge more than halfway across the room. For consistent joints, use tile spacers."
