Am Alone, the tiles looks good but the tiler did a bad job. In fact, DIY can look better than that. Don't get me wrong, your house looks good but, I would suggest you get good hands for your interior finishing. I hope, you take this as a constructive criticism?

The tiler should have used spacers when setting up the tiles. As for the spaces tell him to use grout with matching color and not cement.

@Am Alone
I will like to correct you that Casey was right.You should not claim you know it all. You also have not done your research very well.  There are 2 types of Cut inTiles:

1. Rectified
2. Un-rectified Tiles

Both type of cuts need spacers but rectified could use the thinnest grout and thinnest spacer.

Furthermore, in Naija, we dont know the difference between Porcelain tiles and Ceramic tiles, Tile Na Tile. The line you are calling is what they call Grout lines . The norm is to march your grout line with the color of your Tiles not just white cement on brown tiles.
If you need a book on Tiling I can send one to you to guide you in doing your tiling project.
I supervise custom flooring projects and Import them as well.
I purposely placed this 3 tiles together for you to see. The 2 with closed edge is Rectified, while the other one with space (That has a gap) is un-rectified.

@ Am Alone

You are welcome. Really you can get most of these things in Nigeria. I have enjoyed your building process and your taste.
Let me ask you:

What are you using for the counter top in your kitchen?

Thanks

Casemoney first, I must say that your words were just too harsh to say DIY can look better that than. I have take my time to study the work done by the tiler. I agree he is not all that good. But I monitored this work myself and make sure he give me what I want. Like I said before, the tilling is not completed. What is left is for the joints to be filled with white cement with is normal/common. Even at that, you can't say its so bad. Because from what I can see from the picture and at the site, the work is perfect!!!! Wait till I send you more pitures of the finished works.


@ Egin!!!
Sometimes it feel to good to see people stand up for criticisms. . . . Casemoney criticism for me is not constructive as he could not pin-point what exactly is wrong will my tilling. Anyways regarding your claims that spacers were not use. And doing some more research on the matter, I have come to understand that some tiles just like the onces used in my bathroom comes with factory/company fixed spaces. So that no matter how close you lay the tiles there must still be spaces between them. Just like the tiles in my house. Again spacer or no spacer doesn't mean the job is not okay or done right!!!!!! Spaces in-between tiles is a thing of choice and should not be considered as a bad tilling job. Attached are picture of some bathroom and wall tiles done abroad and see for yourself. . . .  The black and white below have got now space and the white have got spaces as small as mine!!!!
THANKS GUYS!!!!!!!
