As the tiles are oblong they will only line up one way...

If that's a grout joint by the trim (can't quite make it out).......then it should of been a full tile length to the corner ...

The first photo you posted - the tile joint is off set because the tiler started with a full tile from the tile trim on the flat surface (hidden cistern?) which is common practice but the tiler could have put a cut in to line up the joint.

The other joints don't look too bad but those joints could be like that because the tiles may well be different sizes - another common problem. If this is the case then it is impossible to have perfect joint alignment.

There are far, far worse tile jobs - in fact this is probably an 8.75 out of 10.

Imo that would look weirded, 2 small cuts next to a full tile...
Unless I'm looking at it wrong...

Just re -read everything......I was referring to making the best of what was there.

But yes the whole wall to the left could of been worked out to line up the joint.

Which is what I think tom was on about...

I don't know, it's been a long day..:(
