Tile Patterns: Playing with the Power of Pattern
Play with Placement in Patterned Tile
Some tile carries its pattern within the design. The layout stays the same, but the placement decides where a solid gives way to a decorated piece.
Floor tile design for bathroom remodels and entryways gain effortless attention with Bee Hive™, a 24 x 20 hexagonal floor tile. Mix and match solids and patterns across different geometric designs, whether that means a floor made of a single decorated tile accented by solids or a patchwork design that stretches wall to wall.
When a backsplash asks for character, Contempee™ delivers it. A dimensional star adds a handcrafted touch or makes a bold statement across the surface, with a crackle finish and garden-inspired colors to keep the look soft.
Build Movement with Tile Layout Ideas
Shape can change the entire layout. A stacked tile layout keeps every joint in a clean grid, and a vertical stack tile installation draws the eye upward. A herringbone tile pattern sets rectangles in a continuous zigzag, while a chevron tile pattern angles each end into a crisp point.
A coffee bar or feature wall has plenty to work with in Farrier™. Its modular wall tile sizes mix and match into multiple layouts, and a hand-crafted clay look keeps tight geometry feeling warm.
A single 4 x 12 plank goes a long way with Stencil™. Try a chevron pattern across a kitchen backsplash for a sharp, directional look above the counter. In a shower or narrow powder room, a vertical straight stack stretches the walls and gives a compact space more height.
Expand Tile Patterns with Coordinating Series
Coordinating series can carry color and shape from one collection to the next. That freedom invites creativity with pattern and placement alike.
In commercial spaces, a custom floor pattern can start with Loften™ luxury vinyl flooring. With special-order accent colors that coordinate with Color Wheel™ Classic, a band of tile establish visual harmony between horizontal and vertical surfaces. Shapes like Arabesque and Chevron from Color Wheel™ Retro can then finish the space with a pattern in coordinating colors that arrives ready to install.
