Tile patterns you need to be familiar with!- Flooring for home is a big question to everyone because it is not easy to select the material and color. But have you ever thought about the pattern you can try for your flooring and back-splash? Well, many people only know the simple tiling pattern which is limited to a square shape.

Tile is the best wall and flooring choice for every interior or exterior, since it’s waterproof, easy to maintain, and won’t mold, scratch, or stain. The number of options available for tile is beyond belief. Tile comes in countless shapes, sizes, colors, and textures. You can achieve any look with tile, from pastoral to ultra-modern and everything in-between.

Tiles are adaptable and durable flooring as well as wall covering that can be found in many areas of the home. We’ll help you with the types of patterns of tiles you even don’t hear about but won’t regret after applying them.

1. Herringbone

Herringbone is a tile pattern that has been used to jazz up standard marble tiling floors, but is making its mark in kitchens and bathrooms the same.

Basically, a herringbone pattern is made up of rectangular tile pieces that meet at straight edges to form a “zigzag” pattern. Because it uses rectangular tiles instead of angled tiles, the pattern looks like broken or staggered, so that the resulting look holds its own sort of uneven but eye-catching appeal.

Herringbone Tile is usually laid at a 45-degree angle to the floor or wall that it adjoins, laying it horizontally can create a unique, unusual design that makes the pattern really popular!

2. Chevron

If the herringbone pattern is a modern curl on a classic design and then the chevron tile pattern is its more spontaneous sibling.

As earlier mentioned, herringbone tiles are shaped like ordinary rectangles, but the chevron tile takes that standard and tilts it on its edge. The chevron tile pattern is made up of rows of interlocking designs, joined end to end in order to create a seamless zigzag pattern that can run either parallel or perpendicular to the walls or floor.

3. Cobblestone

This pattern starts with rectangular tiles laid in the herringbone style. Around the edges of these it has smaller square tiles to create a larger pattern that is then repeated across the floor. This is a look suited to more traditional styles.

4. Basketweave

Also using rectangular tiles, the basketweave pattern has two tiles laid next to each other to form a square. The following pair of tiles are laid at 90 degrees to the first and so on. The horizontal and vertical tiles then alternate on the following rows.

This gives the impression that the tiles are woven over and under each other like a basket.

5. Hexagon

Hexagon tiles were usually white and were a very common choice in floor tile for the post WWI period. Rather than a solid white floor, often the white hex tiles were broken up into elaborate designs by careful placement of colored or patterned tiles or laying intricate borders.

Today, patterned hexagons create stunning feature walls on floors, mixed with plain hexagon tiles for the ultimate effect.

6. Windmill

To create the windmill pattern, four rectangular tiles is arranged around a square tile in the centre. Using a square tile and grout in a contrasting color to the rectangles really make this pattern stand out. It can look busy on a floor but is good for a shower or as a border.

7. Diagonal (Diamond)

Sometimes referred to as a diamond pattern, the diagonal tile pattern uses square tiles laid on a 45-degree angle to create a diamond effect. This classic pattern can be very effective at making small rooms appear larger. That’s because it focuses your eye on the widest part of the diamond and the wide angles of the grout lines, making it feel like you’re in a much larger space.

Diagonal patterns do require more cutting when you come to the corners of a room, so there’s waste and extra thought involved in the way the tile will lay out. 

8. Pinwheel (Hopscotch)

One of the loveliest tile patterns especially if you have some special tiles to highlight, is the windmill pattern—it’s a real classic. Made using square and brick-sized tiles, the brick tiles form a kind of frame around the central square tile. This pattern is fairly labor-intensive to lay, but gets quicker once you get into the rhythm of the pattern. Lots of mosaic tile makers are now offering this pattern already backed on a mesh, which of course makes it easier.

Pinwheel is similar to the windmill but here you only use square tiles. A small, square tile is surrounded by larger square tiles; it’s possible to replace the single small square tile with four mosaic tiles.

Sometimes the black is substituted for another color such as tan, gray, or red. The checkerboard is actually a color pattern and is always installed using the straight lay or diamond layout.

9. Check-board

Like many tile pattern names, this one lets you know instantly what the layout looks like- a checker or chessboard. It uses square black and white alternating tiles to create a truly classic look. The contrast between the two opposite colors makes for striking results.
