The Basics Every Novice Needs To Know About Tile Patterns

By Bob Schultz


Adding beauty to your home can be done in many ways. However, one of the simplest is by using the right tile patterns. So here are the most important tips and info that anyone just starting out needs to know for success.

Many people don't know it, but the material you pick to use with both floor and wall tile patterns is crucial. That's because a lot of patterns just look so amazing when paired with certain materials. There are quite a few outstanding matches which can be used to meet your goals. Tiles made from the natural stone travertine for example, are typically used with the Versailles tile layout for creating an upscale feel.

Unfortunately many people believe they have a much better sense of style and design than they really do. This overconfidence prevents them from consulting a pro and they often wrongly believe that a layout will look unbelievable in an area where it will certainly not. Even when doing all of the work yourself, you shouldn't be shy to seek the help of a professional. Their guidance will keep you on the path to success and save you time and even money.

When deciding on a layout it is incredibly important to take an honest look at your space before you make any decisions. While some tile layout patterns work best in small areas, others are meant for larger ones. Some layouts might look great on the floor yet others are exclusively used on the wall. Knowing the space you are realistically working with will help you pick a tile pattern than can complement it.

Each of us has our own preferences for what we find to be beautiful. But, you shouldn't presume that just because some patterns are not intricate that they are lacking in any way. Many people wrongly jump to the conclusion that more complex tile laying patterns are always more attractive. While they can produce outstanding results they aren't for every space. Normally by sticking with simpler options like the straight lay or running bond tile pattern, you will be more than satisfied. Plus they make great DIY projects if you are on a restricted budget.

By keeping these tips in mind you'll be on the right path for success from the start. But don't forget to take your time when choosing your tile patterns as well since there are so many gorgeous options to pick from.
