Tired. Those cuts look fine given the tile size/shape and the space—the only way to have fewer is to use a different tile. (And even then it would still depend on how the tiles filled the space—you might end up with even funkier cuts.) You may want to lay out the shower tile dry to make sure you like how it fits before getting to this stage, though. Penny tile can be tricky to do well, especially around drains. If you don’t like it at the dry fit stage you can consider other options.
The pattern had to align with where the floor changes from the main room to the slope in the shower. There is no way to eliminate all small tiles when there are fixed obstructions like that. Those small pieces won’t be what you focus on when it’s complete
The only way to minimize tile cuts especially with large or unusual tile is to design the space to fit the tile with minimal cuts. And that takes an incredible amount of work and planning because it starts with the design and framing of the bathroom. I did this a couple times and I would probably not do it again. And I don't think the guy who did my bathrooms would agree to it again.
Our eyes/minds are used to certain things. We can't fully focus our attention to EVERY detail so we tend to look for mis-matches. I think that is why random is better.
Travestine your "cute airhead act" comment to Michelle NJ was totally uncalled for, condescending, & was out right rude. Your comment therefore lost it's point & deserves no attention.
Travestine, Michelle is doing a great job of admitting she has been a challenge for her contractor, is taking people's advice, hired more help. You can be angry with her approach and still refrain from using demeaning terminology. Let's just be kind.
See Michelle, it could have been worse. You could have hired Joseph Corlett "LLC" instead or some of the other rude men on this thread. It makes them feel important. I hope future clients check out these threads and see what they would be getting into before hiring them.
Seems very fair with the taller ceiling height and angled cuts for the sloped ceiling.
Your contractor is right, as is Mrs. Pete.
Luckily, you like an easy color to match. Home Depot has your grey hexagon in a smaller version.
If these aren’t small enough, do a more thorough search than I did.
Use the larger tile on the bathroom floor and transition to a small tile on the shower floor
a good tile installler can certainly fit the tile to accomodate for the slope.
The cutouts are recessed medicine cabinets. Still concerning??
It would have been nice to have been staggered more. I don't think it is horrible though. Once the vanity , med cabs and lights go in, it might not be so glaring. Right now it is all you have to look at.
Tried to mock it up.
Good luck with whatever you decide.
I think the problem is that this particular tile has too few pattern faces. I always pay more for tiles that have more pattern faces and give you less repeated tiles.
I did my marble-look porcelain tiles with the veining going in the same direction. One of my guest bathrooms ...
If the toilet and bidet are in the same space, then I would want them to have the same look/design, so I would choose something from the same brand/collection. Maybe start by picking out the toilet you like best and then order the matching bidet.

I bought the Washlet that fits over the toilet (as a gift! haha) and every conversation starts with how much they love love love it.
