Yep got you now, If you need to match the trim on the window, I would use the three way corner trim. If you take your time with it it can look good. ( that is the ready made three way corners)

I have dipped the tip of an offending component from a 3 way mitre in a mug of boiling water to tweak the shape a tad before. You can use a very hot hair dryer or a heat gun, not so good unless you shield that parts you don't want to tweak. Make sure you practice on a spare piece first because you can warp the trim like Plasticine all to easily.

Most tile shops will have them in stock, depends on the colour/size you need.

Not a fan of 3 way mitres. Even when done properly they just don't look right imo. Straight upright and left and right mitred still looks smarter, even if there is a protruding point.

Oh how I hate protruding points in 3 way mitres. Shouts laziness / incompetence IMO

Looks crap with corners

Not if its done properly.
