1. Grid
Often also referred to as straight-lay or stacked, the grid is the simplest tile pattern option. This pattern is the easiest to create and the most commonly used. It consists of square or rectangular tiles placed one on top of the other.
2. Brick
This is another common tile pattern where each tile is laid to start at the center of the one above and below it in the same way a typical brick wall is built. The brick pattern may also be referred to as offset, running bond, or staggered brick.
3. ⅓ offset
The ⅓ offset tile patterns are similar to the brick style, but each tile is laid to start at one-third of the length of the tile above or below. Many people frequently use this pattern with plank-style tiles with longer lengths.
4. Chevron
The chevron style has surged in popularity recently and is created by arranging longer tiles in a zig-zag pattern. The effect is a design that’s both classic and modern at the same time.
5. Basketweave
Basketweave patterns have a section of tiles arranged vertically followed by a section arranged horizontally, then a vertical section, and so on. The name of the basketweave pattern comes from its resemblance to an actual basket weave. This pattern was especially prominent during the Art Deco era of the 1920s.
6. Herringbone
In a herringbone pattern, rectangular-shaped tiles are arranged at 45-degree angles to create a series of interlocked V shapes. Similar to the chevron style, herringbone tiles have seen a resurgence in recent years for their ability to blend tradition and style.
7. Pinwheel
Also known as a hopscotch tile pattern, pinwheel designs consist of large tiles with smaller tiles at the corners that are arranged to look like a pinwheel. This design is a great way to subtly incorporate an accent color.
8. Hexagon
Hexagon tiles first rose to popularity in the post-World War II era. Today, these tiles give any room an upbeat, curated feel.
9. Versailles
Also known as a French style, the Versailles tile pattern is made from both square and rectangle tiles arranged in a repeating pattern. The result is an elegant look that pairs especially well with tiles that have a natural or stone-like appearance.
10. Random
The random tile pattern is the most unique pattern of all—you can make it anything you want! For a truly one-of-a-kind design, consider using penny tiles or another material to create an artistic design or even spell out a word or phrase.
