Tile Patterns: Endless Possibilities with One Shape
Why settle for basic when you can go distinct—even with just one shape? The right tile unlocks your inner designer, turning a single silhouette into a canvas for boundless creativity.
Whether you lean minimalist or love to make a statement, your space can completely transform with just one tile shape. From geometric drama to understated elegance, the right pattern changes everything.
Play with Pattern
The power of a pattern starts with layout. A simple rectangle becomes a showstopper when arranged in a herringbone, basketweave, or straight set pattern. Every shift in direction reshapes the room’s vibe—from structured and serene to eye-catching and energetic.
Some of today’s most popular shapes make it easy to create visual movement and distinctive layouts. Rectangles, squares, and hexagons continue to lead the way, offering endless flexibility whether you're aiming for symmetry or a more dynamic, free-flowing design.
And when color enters the picture? That’s when the magic really begins.
Mix & Match for a Custom Look
When it comes to pattern play, few tile series offer as much freedom as Color Wheel Classic and Color Wheel Linear. Think of them as your tile design palette—offering everything from saturated brights and rich jewel tones to warm neutrals and soft pastels. Like painting on a blank canvas, these series let you layer color, contrast, and composition to create looks that are bold and expressive or refined and minimal. You can design lively multicolor layouts, clean two-tone patterns, or tonal schemes that flow seamlessly from one hue to the next. With Color Wheel, creativity isn’t just encouraged—it’s built in.
For a more artisanal look, Farrier delivers a rich personality through its handmade Moroccan tile aesthetic and high shade variation. Each tile is slightly different from the next, creating natural variation across the surface that adds warmth, depth, and visual movement. Even when sticking to a single color, the overall effect is layered and organic—like something lovingly crafted by hand. It’s the kind of detail that elevates a space without ever trying too hard.
Then there’s Bee Hive Medley—a hexagon tile series designed for pattern lovers. By pairing solid tiles with accent pieces that feature dipped corners in contrasting hues, you can build designs that feel custom and kinetic. Whether you opt for subtle shifts or high-impact color combinations, the flexibility of Bee Hive Medley makes it easy to bring bold, geometric artistry to your floor or wall.
Subtle Drama, Elevated Style
Not every standout space needs high contrast. Sometimes, quiet sophistication speaks loudest. The right tile can help you walk the line between soft elegance and visual intrigue.
Remedy, Iridescent Isles, and Mesmerist are perfect examples of how a monochrome pattern with a rich finish can transform a single color into a layered, sophisticated statement. These wall tile series use shine, shadow, and 3D surface treatments to bring dimension and personality to every surface—and they look especially elevated in a vertical subway layout. By stacking rectangular tiles vertically, you create height, motion, and a modern spin on a classic format— proof that even soft, neutral palettes can make a striking impact when paired with thoughtful layout.
Stencil takes the monochromatic approach to the next level. It embraces a simplified color scheme but adds unexpected depth and movement through its dimensional surface. Elevated 3D detailing interacts beautifully with light and shadow, creating a sculptural effect that shifts throughout the day. Whether you choose a soft white, a moody neutral, or something in between, Stencil delivers sophisticated impact without relying on contrast—making it a perfect fit for serene, high-style spaces.
