Herringbone Floor and Wall Tiles
The herringbone tile pattern is simple to lay following the correct steps as noted above. The main thing to note is that it can be a little more time consuming than a standard staggered or stacked brick bond. However, the end result is worth the extra effort as the herringbone pattern is a wonderful way to elevate and enhance any tile. We recommend employing the work of a professional tiler to achieve a sleek herringbone pattern.
A herringbone tile is simply a thin rectangular tile that is laid at an angle to create the classic zig zag pattern. Most commonly, metro tiles and smaller wood planks look best when laid as herringbone flooring or wall tiles.
When laying herringbone flooring, it is important to note the first tile installed is at a 45° angle, the pattern can then be followed from there. Using tile spacers are essential to achieve consistent grout joints and clean straight edges. Read more on our general installation advice.
Yes, definitely! The beauty of herringbone tiling is that it can make any sized room look bigger. Particularly working in narrower areas such as hallways or galley kitchens to give the illusion of movement and a larger space. This laying pattern also works in large open plan kitchens and ground floors and helps to create a spacious, inviting feeling.
A herringbone floor may be trending right now, but it is a pattern that has been used for hundreds of years – think grand estates with herringbone parquet flooring. With this in mind, we think it is a trend that is also classic and timeless and won’t date - which ticks the boxes for us when choosing flooring for kitchen tiles. Wood effect herringbone flooring is also much more hardwearing and durable than traditional wood floors, meaning it is easier to maintain and look after and will last for years to come.
