Ceramic Tile Patterns & Layout Designs

Herringbone

As we all know, it is one of the best well-known tile patterns at present. You can find it in the wall, bathroom, floor, and almost everywhere. And we believe that it will continue to be a popular choice in 2021. This tiling way is suitable for rectangular tiles, such as subway tiles, wood floors, and more. 

Combine two tiles at a 90-degree angle to create an L-shape. In the same way, place the other two tiles in the corner of the joint to form another "L". Repeat these steps until the laying is complete. It can enhance the sense of the line, which is perfect for a modern and concise design style. Besides, the color of the grout can make the tiles high-profile. It will look more vibrant if you install brightly colored subway tiles with white grout.

Hexagon

It is an impressive decorative choice that full of aesthetic feeling. On the one hand, it contributes to enhancing the sense of space. On the other hand, it can enrich the visual effect of the room. Due to the special shape, this is no doubt that it is usually combined with mosaic tiles. However, it has a variety of applications to achieve different effects.

Combination: Try not to limit within the mosaic! Don't forget that there are many other options that you can choose from. Hexagonal tiles can serve as a part of the decoration mix with the mosaic, sintered stone, subway tile, etc.

Multi-purpose: The hexagon layout is not only for specific places like bathrooms or kitchens. It is flexible enough to cover narrow or small areas. In addition to joining tile joints, it can also be used on floors and even walls.

Various shapes: Based on the colors of the tiles, you can create a wide variety of beautiful forms. For example, you can simulate a flower with six petals under this tile pattern. So, just unleash your creativity!

Offset

This tiling way, also known as running bond, is one of the most often used layouts and never out of season. Unlike grid, which may look a bit boring, it can create a classical and elegant touch to your room. Therefore, it is versatile that can be found in the backsplash, wall, flooring, and more applications. In addition, it is easy to install - simply lay the tiles with 1/2 or 1/3 offset.

The first step to create this look is to select the square or rectangular ceramic tiles. If you're going to tile the wall, you can pick out 2 or 3 different colors. Take the bathroom wall as an example. At the bottom, you can use black tiles as decorative layers. And use white tiles in the middle and upper part to improve the brightness of the room. 

In addition to the above mentioned, there are many other types of tile patterns, such as linear, basketweave, pinwheel. In short, the tile pattern you choose leads to the different final effects, and the paving costs are also very far apart. Moreover, you have to consider many other things, such as tile specification, tile style, overall design, and so on. Indeed, home decoration has not been an easy task for most of the homeowner.
