Tile Patterns To Help Make Any Space Shine

By Mike Hienstat


Tile comes in a never-ending range of colors and materials. Yet, there are also a ton of tile patterns you can use to help them upgrade the look of your property. Here are a few of the best for all areas of your home.

The bathroom is a very important room of the house, it's where we shower and despite being smaller than other rooms can really have a big impact on how a home is perceived. One of the easiest ways to go for creating an appealing bathroom space that is also functional is the straight lay. This is the most elementary of all the wall and floor tile patterns as each tile is simply installed in a straight line and made to be even with the ones on both sides of it. However with the right material this layout can make your bathroom standout. Using small mosaic tiles in the straight lay can add safety to this room as well since their many grout lines will provide much needed grip to help prevent slips and falls.

The kitchen is not only for making food but also somewhere to enjoy with friends and family. Because of this you'll most often want a pattern that is not just eye-catching but also a cinch to clean. One of the top choices of all wall tile patterns is consistently the running bond. By employing rectangular tiles that are staggered so each one starts at the center of the one below it can create a back splash that is breathtaking. Not to mention it will also have grout lines that are so thin they won't attract grime making it a winning option.

To get the most use and best looks from your outdoor space your patio should have the appropriate covering and that of course is tile. For larger areas or ones that you want to have an extra upscale feel there are only a handful of tile layout patterns that the pro's recommend. One that never fails to impress is the Versailles. Used, around the world in some of the fanciest properties it is so well planned out and complicated that it tricks the eye into thinking it is a random yet perfectly balanced installation.

Your hallway can be plain and unimpressive or used as a spot to add a splash of style it's your choice. The herringbone tile pattern can be the tool you use to make it a homerun if that's what you want. When completed it gives an appearance that is similar to the skeleton of the bony herring fish. But, unless you are lucky enough to have years of experience laying tile you will want to leave this installation for the pro's to handle.

A foyer is often the first part of the interior of your home a guest will see so making sure it looks marvelous should be a priority. A simple way to do so is with one of the tile laying patterns that the pro's utilize to give the appearance of space. It's known as the diamond layout and will make any small space look bigger than it really is due to it's wide angles.

It's easy to see that there are tile patterns to make sure anyone can achieve their goals and anywhere in the home or even outside for that matter. By taking a little time and doing some research you can also find the ideal material to pair with your pattern of choice to make it even more effective.
