Tile Patterns What You Need To Know
by Mike Hartwick
Tile is well known for being one of the best ways to cover a wall or floor. However, if you want the best results you'll need to pick a pattern. Fortunately their is a wide variety of tile patterns to pick from. And that allows everyone an opportunity to find something that works for them.
For someone interested in a simple pattern, the straight lay can be a good choice. And best of all since it isn't complicated it can be installed by beginners. This can save you some cash if you want to do it yourself. As you could guess from the name, with this tile pattern, the tiles are set in a straight line. Just be sure to line each one up so its even with the ones next to it.
Another twist on the straight lay tile pattern is the checkerboard. And yes, it does look just like a chess or checkerboard with black and white squares. It accomplishes this by using alternating solid-colored white and black tiles. Some manufacturers actually offer large tiles with multiple checkered squares on them already so you won't have to do much thinking at all. When this pattern is used with stone tiles it can look very luxurious but less expensive vinyl tiles are always an option too.
Many people love the look of the running bond tile pattern. You may sometimes also hear it called the brick pattern since it is also commonly used by brick layers due to its strength. With this layout tiles are put down so that they are even with the half-way mark of the one in the preceding row. The running bond is immensely popular and can be seen on the wall, floor, and particularly kitchen back splashes.
The herringbone is a more complex looking alternative. It gets its name from how much it looks like the skeletal structure of the herring, a very bony fish. Not normally used as a wall pattern it is typically seen on the floor. Another choice if you want something complicated is the Versailles tile pattern. While this one is made to look random it actually employs several tile sizes and needs to be installed by a tile professional due to its difficulty.
It's pretty obvious when it comes to tile patterns you've got a lot to choose from. There are also many more than listed here. Just remember when choosing a pattern to stick with your gut feeling and always know what outcome you would ultimately like to accomplish. And don't forget to have some fun in the process!
