I can't quite work out what's going on from the pics, is it a kitchen or bathroom walls? It looks like the tiles on the face of the wall have been set out too low, a pic from further back would help.

So the bottom tiles have stopped with a rounded trim and the sill tiles have stopped into a flat trim?

Looks weird.

Yes I was told he's not lined the tiles up properly around the window, so this is why he's ended up doing this, not sure if that's right.
The tiling itself doesn't look too bad although again I was told he should of started in the middle of the wall to get the same cut at the ends but he never did this,

He filled the bottom tile with a trim as there was a too larger gap he said to fill with grout so placed a trim there instead. Don't want to upset him I felt he rushed the job and kept saying this was a terrible job, Do you another alternative than the round trim?

No, it's not right, he should have started again and set it out correctly, does not sound like he set out at all.

Usually you would find the centre of the window and set out to get the same pattern at the window edges.

I am.just tiling my windows now, the bottom tiles should go past the sill so that the trim and silver tiles meet up. Or sill tiles past depending on trim used and orientation .
