Advantages of herringbone tiling layouts

There are many advantages and benefits to this tiling layout, and these include:

• Suits any style- whether you are creating a traditional bathroom or a contemporary kitchen, the herringbone tiling layout can be a great choice. In a traditional space, this layout adds visual detail to your floors or walls, because of the unusual pattern. In a contemporary space, the shape of the tiles and the arrangement can make for a stylish and subtle tiling feature.
• Adds width to a space- if the space you are tiling is fairly narrow, the herringbone tiling layout can make it seem wider than it really is. This is because the tiles are laid diagonally, drawing the eye out to the furthest part of the room.
• Subtle or bold- a herringbone tiling layout can add subtle style to a room, creating a black canvas for the rest of the space. But it could also be used a bold tiling feature that will grab attention. It all depends on the colour and style of the tiles, as well as the colour of the grout. Use the same or similar colours for a subtle effect, or contrasting colours for a bold finish.
