So sorry: "emotionally significant for us" is something completely different from "others also notice"!

I would also like to see a photo.
Our garden landscaper told us that our exterior walls are crooked. But he reassured us: most plasters and probably also bricks are supposed to be a bit out of plumb.
Anyway: how big/long is the tiled room? By how many millimeters does the longest room length deviate?

Doesn’t the tiler compensate for that at the edge? Base joint??? I once corrected 2 cm over 8 meters length in a terraced house with that. And no one noticed.

Hello construction expert, etc...
Here is the requested photo. It shows the door width in the plank area with access to the storage room. You can see it clearly here because two different tiles meet. The door is only about 80 cm wide. Over the entire house width of about 7.9 m, as already mentioned, there is about a 3 cm deviation.....
Regards
Markusch

In the picture, I see about a 3 cm deviation over 80 cm!

Hello Ypg, I have actually measured a deviation of 1.5 cm here. The deviation is also the worst here. Later on (over 8 m width) the deviation decreases somewhat again. The masonry around the stairway entrance is the worst. Underneath this is also the storage room. (Photo) Regards Markusch

To me, it looks like the tiles are crooked, not the rest. But I'm not an expert either. I wonder, how can I have a deviation of 1.5 cm over 80 cm, but only 3 cm over 8 meters? The wall must really be crooked and bent with a kink or curve.

Can we have a panoramic photo of the "crooked" room (the crooked wall)? I'm having trouble picturing the space. And maybe a floor plan showing which wall it is.

Which room is on the other side? The tiles there must necessarily be "crooked" as well. A wall is not only crooked on one side, but also on the other. Or your plaster is 5cm thick in one spot and 2cm in another. Have you only measured the tiles/grout up to the wall, or also the entire room? Can you rule out that the wall on the opposite side is not crooked?

Have you measured the room at the ceiling?

As I said, it doesn't have to come from the builder. It could also be a massively varying plaster thickness.
