Considerations for choosing effective tiling layouts for any space

So what are the options when it comes to tiling layouts? And how can you make the right decision for your space? Well, here are some top tips for choosing tiling layouts for any space:

• Choose a layout that will match your style- traditional and contemporary rooms can use the same tiling layouts, but they should be applied slightly differently. For example, the grid layout is perfect for no fuss contemporary kitchens, but for a traditional kitchen, you could tweak this by turning it on an angle, and using the checkerboard layout instead.
• Choose a layout that will match the shape of your room- whether your room is long and narrow, or wide and open plan, there are tiling layouts to suit. You should choose the layout option that will make the most of your space, and look most effective in your room. For example, a herringbone layout can be extremely effective in a narrow galley kitchen, as the diagonal angle draw the eye towards the edges of the room. In a large space, large format tiles can help the space feel even larger than it really is.
• Keep it simple- for the majority of the tiling in any space, you should be thinking about a simple tiling layout. This will be the backdrop for the room itself, so you need it to be fairly plain. Brick bond, straight lay, and diagonal tiling are all good options for a blank canvas.
