Vocabulary
slant/lean to the right
Hello,
Can we say: "I suggest you start tiling in the middle of the wall and work toward the corners. The wall slants/is leaning to the right and if you start tiling from corner to corner, you will not be pleased with the final result."
The context is miserable, but I'd like to know if "slant/lean" sound odd in this context. What do you think?

Thank you. I just watched a few "How to" videos and one of the experts used "lean". Is that what builders/DIYers normally say? I don't know what the pros use.
