ᐅ Laying Tiles Without Using Edge Trim

Hello,

we recently visited a tile showroom and saw a tiling method that doesn’t use trims or profiles.

At the wall edges, the tiles simply stopped, giving the impression that there was no additional finishing element at all. In a 90-degree layout, the top horizontal tile was placed flush against the lower tile. Of course, you could see the edge of the top tile, but it didn’t look worse than having a trim or a Jolly edge, for example.

Does anyone know if this tiling method has any disadvantages or if it has a specific name? I could imagine that the edges might be more prone to damage on contact compared to trims.

May I ask why the diagonal joint here "disturbs" the picture?

The diagonal joint is on the floor and is designed to direct water flow, while the stool is located in the shower area.
