Tile Patterns Turn The Ordinary Home Into The Extraordinary Home

By Mike Hartwick


When thinking about your flooring or wall surface project, be sure to consider one of the best choices available, tile. A worldwide favorite, it comes in an enormous variety of shapes, sizes, colors and patterns. With so much to choose from it's easy to create any look or feel you want. This is especially true when using tile patterns.

Some patterns are rather basic and are fairly easy to install so they are perfect for individuals that are new to working with tile. The straight lay and the diagonal tile patterns are both rather simple patterns that can be used in large rooms. Some people like to stagger one or two colors with these patterns to give the pattern a more personalized look. Another simple yet classic pattern is called the checkerboard pattern.

In fact many homeowners choose to go with the checkerboard tile pattern in their bathroom and or kitchen. You can use black and white paint and appliances to further match this pattern and enhance it's vintage feel. However when using it, you should always be careful not to make the room look too busy by adding too many colors.

The Versailles tile pattern is one which exemplifies elegance. It's a French pattern that actually uses 4 different tile sizes. You can really get the most from it by using it with stone or clay tiles as they really work well together. While this pattern can be used in any size room or space it does look best when used in one which is larger rather than smaller.

If you are searching for something intricate looking, you might want to check out the pinwheel and basket weave. They both use more than one color and help to create a flowing appearance. The herringbone is also a striking alternative, particularly if you want to open up a small space.

When trying to find the perfect pattern for small rooms the herringbone tile pattern is the ideal option. This arrow head or V shaped pattern creates a visual illusion that the space is much larger than it actually is.The herringbone pattern is commonly used in short or narrow spaces such as hallways and other small rooms to create this effect.

Tile patterns when used the right way can help to transform your home. Not only will they add to its beauty but its value as well. With unbeatable function and style using tile for your next wall or floor project is a smart investment!
