1. Classic Herringbone Patterns

The herringbone pattern is a timeless classic, and for good reason. This symmetrical, zig-zag design adds a touch of grandeur to any room. It pairs particularly well with large format tiles, creating a striking visual impact. To get this look, lay down a subfloor of half-sized tiles, then install larger tiles in a herringbone pattern overtop.

Measure the space accurately to determine the tile you'll need. With large format tiles, precision is key. You may need to order custom pieces, so be sure to have a plan in hand before ordering.

2. Chevron Patterns

As the herringbone pattern's smaller, younger cousin, the chevron pattern has a similar symmetrical vibe, but with a more adventurous twist. This modern look is achieved by laying tiles in a specific V-shape, creating a dynamic and eye-catching effect.

Place chevron tiles in a continuous line along the length of the room, with tiles at different angles to create movement and visual interest. Mix and match tile colors to create a multi-tonal look or go all bold by using a single, bolder accent color.

• Use tiles with varying lengths to create the chevron pattern
• Color-block to create a bold statement

3. Brick Patterns

The alternating offset brick pattern is perfect for smaller, more intimate spaces, like a compact living room. It's simple, yet elegant and can add depth without overwhelming the space. Try using long-format tiles at a 1/3 offset to get that brick-inspired look.

For a room with a high ceiling, think beyond inserts to get a cohesive look that ties in with flooring and window treatments.
