Tile trim. Love it or hate it, it's the only way. You don't want cut
edges on an external corner.
Looks fine as long as you choose the right size for your tile thickness
and get a close match on the colour.

I was considering that - and ordered some. But it turned out too deep (9mm).
That leaves me with getting some 6mm, or trying to be "traditional".

The thing that I couldn't work out with the trim is what to do with the bit
where we go from the half tiled to half untiled wall.

The lower bit obviously wants the trim to "hang out" so it aligns with the
other tiles round the corner.

The top bit would need the trim to end up aligned with the edge of the
plaster.

I was thinking later that that step might look naff too - possibly more naff
than finishing the edge with grout?...

If that's confusing, I'll do a diagram...

Just do a butt job. Although the edges on the ones I did looked
unglazed theyre fine wrt water absorption. I guess they must have a
tiny bit of matt glaze on them.
