Tile patterns
How tiles are laid.

The same tile can look completely different depending on how it's laid. Patterns can make walls look taller, floors wider, or simply add interest.

The basics

More complex patterns take longer to lay and create more cuts and waste.

Tiles in a straight grid. Clean and modern.

Each row offset by half a tile, like brickwork.

Tall tiles stacked upright, to make a ceiling feel higher.

A zigzag of rectangular tiles.

A zigzag with angled ends, for a sharper point.

Alternating colours in a grid.
