The timeless herringbone pattern exudes sophistication and adds visual interest to any space. Its V-shaped design creates movement, making it perfect for areas like kitchen backsplashes or shower walls. Whether aiming for a traditional or modern look, herringbone fits any style, adding texture and depth.

Pro tip: To make the zigzag effect stand out, use contrasting grout. A darker or lighter grout will emphasise the pattern, creating a bold, eye-catching statement in your room.

The quintessential brick pattern—clean, simple, and endlessly versatile. It’s a go-to choice for a timeless aesthetic that works in any room. Keep it classic with fresh whites, or add personality with soft greens, calming blues, or playful pinks. This pattern is perfect for creating a look that’s both traditional and uniquely yours.

Double the drama! This pattern pairs tiles side-by-side, creating a bold, angular look that’s perfect for larger spaces like feature walls. For a sleek and sophisticated vibe, go with silver grey or crisp white tiles—they’ll make the pattern pop while keeping things elegant and timeless.

A playful twist on the brick bond, the stepladder pattern staggers rows to mimic steps. It’s great for creating visual height, especially in smaller spaces such as showers or bathrooms with low ceilings.

This variation aligns the herringbone pattern in a single, linear direction, creating a sleek and structured look. It’s perfect for adding a contemporary twist to a traditional pattern, especially in modern kitchens or bathrooms.

For a contemporary feel, stack tiles vertically in a straight line. This pattern elongates walls, making it perfect for adding height in compact bathrooms. Stick to neutral tones like ivory for a clean, understated look, or add a pop of colour like sea blue to create a striking focal point. 

If you’re all about modern vibes with a sleek twist, the horizontal linear stack pattern is your go-to. This layout lines up tiles in neat, straight rows, creating a clean, minimalist look that screams contemporary chic. Perfect for kitchens and bathrooms, this pattern makes walls feel wider and more spacious—ideal for small spaces!

Looking to add a modern twist to the classic brick pattern? Vertical off-set bond is the way to go! By stacking tiles vertically and offsetting them, this pattern creates a clean yet dynamic look that’s perfect for contemporary spaces.

It’s a great choice for bathrooms, accent walls, or even kitchen backsplashes if you want to draw the eye upward and make ceilings feel taller. Stick to crisp whites or soft greys for a sleek, minimalist vibe, or inject some fun with deep blues, earthy greens, or subtle pinks. Vertical off-set bond is effortlessly stylish and guaranteed to elevate your   walls!

Want a wall pattern that’s modern with a fun twist? Vertical brick bond 70:30, also known as the stepladder pattern, is here to impress. By offsetting tiles at a 70:30 ratio and stacking them vertically, this layout adds height and movement to your walls, creating a bold and dynamic look.

Diagonal herringbone on your walls is guaranteed to turn heads and spark compliments! By tilting the classic herringbone pattern at an angle, this layout creates a sense of movement and drama that instantly elevates any room. Try this design in a smaller brick tile for a more visually intruging and "busier" design.

• Start by marking a level baseline to ensure even placement.
• Apply adhesive and place the first tile at the center of your working area.
• Use tile spacers for consistent gaps, and stagger rows to achieve the brick effect.
• Cut edge tiles to fit, ensuring a clean finish.

Perfect for sleek, modern vibes, the straight pattern is all about clean lines and minimalism. It’s great for contemporary kitchens or bathrooms, creating a polished look that can even make smaller rooms feel big.

For timeless charm and texture, the brick pattern is a winner. Its staggered rows add depth and work beautifully in rustic or urban spaces. Want a bold look? Try contrasting grout or smaller tiles for extra detail.

Go straight for modern chic or brick for classic character—it all depends on your style. Feeling bold? Mix and match for something uniquely yours!
