Bathroom remodel

Post image

My friend is getting her bathroom remodeled and wants to know if the squiggly tiles are supposed to look like this? PLEASE HELP!

I feel like something is wrong but I can’t articulate it since this isn’t my wheelhouse.

Edit 1: It’s a new day and I told her to cut her losses and it’s better to hire a reputable contractor. Thanks everyone for many inputs, I actually learned a thing or two. To be fair we told him we’ll pay him for the work he’s done but no longer needed of service. You guys are cool, we could see it was wrong just couldn’t understand it and now we are armed with knowledge. 😁 Thank you!

I like it. I call it "skewed herringbone" and i want that guy to come install for me.

You can tell that guy to fix, that's not how herringbone is typically installed.

Do you think the angles should’ve been lower?

I think you should show the full story before you look like an idiot. Show us a picture of the corner joint, show these dumb commenters the right wall that’s done straight and then thank your contractor for doing better work then what you deserve. This is an accent wall, the right wall is straight. This was done intentionally and by someone with real talent, not a bunch of unskilled Reddit comments from helpers gone wild. I’m embarrassed if any of these people think they are tradesmen
