The 3 Tile Installation Trends we are Currently Using

September 15, 2020

There are so many choices to consider when designing your home. This summer we have been trying to make it easier on you by sharing the exact design decisions we have been making in our recent projects. Today we are talking tile. Not what type of tile we are using, (for that read The White Tiles we Are Currently Using), but how we are choosing to have the tile installed. Even a basic, inexpensive tile can be transformed in the installation. Read on to see how we are laying out our tile in our recent projects.

Stacked

Instead of a traditional staggered tile look, for many of the spaces in our Family Ties custom build, we decided to set the tile in a stacked pattern where all the tile edges align. The trend creates a more clean-lined modern feel. In the kitchen, we used a horizontal stack. We love the contrast of the modern lines with the Old World Moroccan tile.

In this bathroom we used a vertical stacked pattern. The long linear lines are crisp and unexpected. It creates a bold geometric pattern that feels modern and is a great pairing with the clean cement tiles.

 

Herringbone

A herringbone pattern is a beautiful way to add dimension and interest to your space while using simple subway tile. It’s a great way to elevated even the most affordable tiles. Herringbone is a traditional look, but add dark tile or grout and it pulls modern.

Staggered

A staggered or off-set pattern is the most common way of laying tile. There is nothing wrong with sticking with a classic! But if you want to make the look unique, consider dramatic grouting or square tile. Tile can be staggered on the center (or half) of each tile or on the third. We most often chose to off-set on the half.

In the kitchen of our Torina Project, we staggard on the the third. It creates even more pattern and texture.
