Tiles are a versatile and stylish way to add character and charm to your home. Selecting a tile can set the scene for any backsplash, floor or shower wall. They bring texture, color, and voice to a design. But a tile can take on numerous personalities all from the way it’s laid. The most common patterns are brickset (with a ½ or ⅓ offset), stack, basketweave, herringbone, and chevron.
To create new patterns, start with the classic, timeless subway tile. These tiles are known for their simple and clean design, making them a versatile option for any room in your home. They come in a variety of colors, from traditional white to bold and vibrant hues. Subway tiles are perfect for creating a sleek and modern look in your kitchen or bathroom. But their versatility is clearly evident with the numerous patterns they can be laid in.
Mosaic tiles are also a great way to create new patterns with tile. These tiles are made up of small pieces of glass, stone, or ceramic, arranged in a pattern to create a larger design and glued to a mesh backing. They come in a variety of colors and designs, from traditional, to modern and abstract. Mosaic tiles are perfect for creating a statement wall or backsplash in your home. These pre-laid patterns will avoid the extra labor required to lay each individual piece. Mosaics come in chevron, brickset, herringbone, basketweave and more.
By taking a simple tile pattern and switching it up, you can instantly add character and charm to any space. Whether you prefer traditional brickset subway designs or modern and unique patterns, like vertical stack, there is a tile design for every style and taste.
