Tile Patterns To Upgrade Any Space

By Mike Hienstat


Tile comes in a wealth of colors and materials. However they are also many patterns with which you can use them in order to improve the look of your home. Here are the top picks for the most commonly used spots in and out.

The bathroom is where we shower but also is one room that despite its small size can really influence the feel of a house. One of the simplest methods for designing a bathroom that looks phenomenal but is also functional is by using the straight lay. This is by far the easiest to install of all floor tile patterns and it works on the wall too. All the tiles are set in a straight line and so that they are even with the ones next to them. Even thought it's not complicated by using the right material you can make your installation look extraordinary. Don't overlook mosaic tiles in this tile pattern since their countless grout lines will give you some serious grip on wet floors.

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.

For getting the maximum use from outside spaces like patios you'll need the right covering, and that means tile. If you have an area that is more substantial in size or that you would like to make look very high-end, there are a limited number of tile layout patterns recommended by the professionals. One which always leaves a lasting impression is the Versailles layout. It can be seen in some of the most upscale homes worldwide and is so intricate that it fools your eyes into thinking they are looking at a random but totally balanced project.

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.

The foyer is one of the first places guests see when entering a home, so making a great impression is a smart idea. An easy way to do this is by using the diamond layout which is one of the tile laying patterns that professionals use to create the illusion of space. By adding it to your foyer which is naturally small it will instantly make it appear much spacious than it really is and is of course a very good looking pattern as well.

As you can see there are tile patterns to help you achieve your goals in any room of the house and even outdoors. By doing a little research and pairing the one you choose with the proper material you can double the effects of your results and be sure to increase the look and value of your home as well.
