What is the herringbone pattern?

​The herringbone tile layout pattern feels like it has exploded into fashion in recent years becoming one of the fast growing and most popular tile layout pattern, particularly for feature walls and small room floors. 

The herringbone pattern is perfect for hallways or outdoor paths though because the 'V' pattern that it creates acts like arrows pointing you in the right direction which is very clever. However it is important not to confuse the herringbone tile pattern with the Chevron patter, they are distinctively different. 

To create the herringbone pattern, lay any type of rectangular tile in a zig zag pattern, it is simple. This is done by taking any sized rectangular tile and turning one so that the two are perpendicular to each other, align them along one side and repeat. This will basically create a repeating L-shape with each two tiles installed. 

The herringbone tile layout pattern also helps in making rooms appear larger than they seam. This is because the eyes do focus on the V shape instead of the narrowness of a room. By focusing on the pointing arrows a space can appear long and large. 

If you are laying tiles in a herringbone layout we recommend that you allow at least 20% for extra cuts and breakages because more cutting is involved.
