Types of Tile Layouts for Your Bathroom Renovation

Tiling is an age-old practice. With so many designs and layouts that can be applied, tiling can often come out as the most confusing task when designing a bathroom renovation. While there’s no fixed rule or criteria as to how things are to be followed, the best way is to lay the tiles in a manner that enhances the aesthetic appeal of your bathroom. Intrend bathrooms bring expertise and perfection to the table to familiarise you with the best options to apply to your bathroom design. The first thing to keep in mind is to create a balance with even off cut pillar sections on each side. Another aspect that mustn’t be ignored is the in situ shower base, the height of the vanity and entrance of in situ shower base.

Herringbone

Under this method, the tiles are laid cross-section from left to right both in a vertical and horizontal manner. Format tiles in rectangular shape are an ideal choice for this type of layout. For perfect bathroom renovations, ones with dimensions 350mm x 100 mm would help make your space visually appealing. The method has been in practice since roman days and involves intensive workmanship.

Straight Laying

This involves laying tiles in clean straight lines. There is no dimension involved as such. Straight laying is a common method used in architectural arrangements.

Straight Lines

The aim of this layout is to compliment shadow lines in ceilings and doors. Clean lines are in vogue owing to the charm they bring to space. When standard-sized bricks or a bit smaller in size are laid in the same pattern, it is known as a brick pattern. This style can be used in many different applications. The pattern especially looks nice in areas with large walls.

Symmetrical

If you wish to give your bathroom colonial vibes, this style is simply perfect. Some copper or brass fixtures and fittings to compliment it would take the appeal to the next level. Medium format brick pattern is applied under this with dimensions – 400mm x 170mm and 600mm x 300.

Mosaic

Mosaic design is most prevalent in individual tile pieces. Mostly, the installation today is carried in dimensions 300mm x 300mm on a mesh sheet on which the mosaics are glued to.

Roman Style

If you are a fan of everything large and do not like grout lines, roman style large format application in either vertical or horizontal manner can be considered. For English style brick pattern, square symmetrical tiles in dimensions 50mm x 250mm or smaller is used.

Basket Weave

If you wish to add a sense of drama, basket weave and other similar patterns are the best choice. Similar to the herringbone layout, they convert subway tiles into square units. This type of pattern helps avoid cutting when filling a rectangular area.
