Phenomenal Tile Patterns That Are Sure To Impress

By Marc Atlas


Tile is word renowned for the effects it can have on a home. However when working with it you'll first need to know the top tile patterns and what they each can provide if you are to have a successful installation. So here are five that always provide serious results.

When it comes to creating a space that looks unique you may want to use a pattern that portrays movement. Of all the tile layout patterns the pinwheel is easily one of the best for this job. It uses a series of square tiles each of which are surrounded by four smaller ones at strategic spots which makes it seem as if you are looking at a pinwheel that is spinning around in the wind.

A classic look is often a fantastic way to go especially if you love a vintage feel. One of the top tile installation patterns that can easily accomplish this is the checkerboard. By simply alternating black and white tiles you can have a floor or wall that looks just like that of a checker or chessboard.

We all have rooms in the house which may be a little too narrow. These usually tend to be bathrooms, hallways, and foyers but can be other rooms as well. To increase how wide a room looks and feels the diagonal tile pattern is a fabulous tool. In order to fool the eye, the tiles are set at a forty five degree angle. This makes any room where it is used seemed wider than it actually is.

Having a cohesive looking installation is a very common goal. If it's something you desire as well you may want to consider the running bond pattern. When completed it looks exactly like the pattern you'd see on a brick wall with each tile starting at the middle of the ones both above and below it. Because it uses rectangular tiles it is one of the most favored subway tile patterns for use on both kitchen and bathroom backsplashes.

Many people are interested in an installation which appears to be set at random. However there is actually a much better idea than placing your tiles down without a plan. The best way to accomplish this is by using one of the most complicated tile floor patterns known as the Versailles layout. With the help of tiles of various sizes it gives the appearance of an area that looks totally random yet evenly balanced.

These 5 five tile patterns can help you to not only meet but surpass your goals. Just take some time first to decide what those goals are to make your selection even easier
