Once you’ve chosen your tiles, it’s time to face another important decision… which layout are you going to use? Here’s a handy infographic, showing off 10 of the most stylish tile layouts that are trending right now…

Being creative with how you lay your tiles can transform a necessity into a style statement in any room of the house. There’s nothing wrong with choosing a plain or cheaper tile which is installed in a traditional rectangular or square layout but there are so many more tile shapes and layouts to use to your advantage, giving your home the wow factor.

We’ve laid out some popular tile layouts you can try in your project! From the hot-right-now herringbone layout to the more intricate basket weave, there’s something to suit any style. Most of these layouts can be created using a brick shaped tile such as the timeless and if you wish, colourful, subway inspired metro tile.
