Currently tiling a 25sqm bathroom. The door access to the room is at 45 deg (approx) thereby creating two obtuse corners of 135deg internally to the bathroom. Any advice on tiling around these corners - some posts indicate just using standard trim for 90deg corners? Will this not create a risk losing grout on the rounded side of the trim as part of the radius will be buried? The trim from the supplier is quite chunky - will take upto a 10mm tile. Tiles purchased are just under 7mm thick (tile size 25x40). Was thinking a thinner trim to provide a thin edge may look better?

Also when tiling a reveal - window or other is the preference to leave a grout line at 3mm same as tile spacing or directly butt up to the tile?

I always tile those sort of angles with no trim, just a tile joint. Has to be all nice and plumb, looks loads better imo. You some times need to take a bit off the back of the tile
