Ceramics: 12 different ways to arrange them<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

How would you like to place your tiles? Here are the main design possibilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Choosing a ceramic tile layout<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

First, tile layout changes the way a wall, floor or backsplash feels. Format, direction and grout spacing can make the surface look calmer, more graphic or more dynamic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next, compare patterns with light and nearby materials before choosing. To connect tile decisions with a larger project, see Vivre Ici\u2019s interior design services<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Herringbone
It is a popular choice as it is a perfect blend of simplicity and flair. The pattern, characterized by rectangular tiles laid in a V or perpendicular, adds energy to your space without being too obtrusive. This is very popular as a kitchen backsplash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chevron
Similar to Herringbone, this layout instead has the shorter end of the tiles aligned to form a 45 degree mitered joint. Unless your tile is specifically designed for this layout, it will need to be cut to fit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Law
The most basic type of tile. It is characterized by uniform rectangular or square tiles aligned so that the grout forms a grid. This is very popular in kitchens and baths. It looks great in simple whites, solid colors or alternating color patterns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Diagonal
This pattern is similar to straight but with the tiles laid diagonally instead of straight across.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reel (Pinwheel)
A small square surrounded by much larger squares, is one of the most distinctive. Although sometimes used on kitchen floors, it is best used as an accent or for outdoor patios.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Windmill (Windmill)
It is characterized by a square tile centered around four large rectangular tiles. It’s a versatile pattern that’s perfect for kitchen floors and basements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brick
This dynamic tile pattern uses squares or rectangles to present a brick-style effect. This pattern can look great with bright colors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paving stone (Cobblestone)
A twist on herringbone, this pattern consists of rectangular tiles with smaller square tiles around the edges. This model is popular in more traditional homes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1\/3 staggered
Each tile in this pattern offsets the tile below by a third of its length, creating an offset diagonal effect. This layout is often used with one-, two-, or three-color designs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vertical
In this design, the tiles are stacked vertically, emphasizing the height of your space by making your walls appear taller. Subway tiles suddenly take on new life and geometric appeal in this layout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Versailles
This pattern uses a combination of square and rectangular tiles to create a repeating puzzle-like pattern. We love using the Versailles layout on natural stone floors like travertine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Diagonal
This layout uses square tiles laid at a 45 degree angle. A great way to make your floors look wider, we love it for walls and backsplashes too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
