Popular Subway Wall Tile Patterns
Different patterns of subway tiles have different effects on the room. The following are some of the best patterns that can be used when using subway wall tiles in a room.
Herringbone Pattern
The herringbone pattern is one of the dynamic patterns to use. The way one lays the tile in a zigzag pattern creates a visual flow and movement. The pattern therefore works for both traditional and modern settings. It’s really impressive with a kitchen backsplash or bathroom wall tiles. Arrangements can make the space seem larger for smaller spaces. For instance, 75 X 300 mm Matt Ponds Lovender subway wall tiles from Face-Impex add depth as well as a sophisticated look to your bathroom.
Basketweave Pattern
Basketweave pattern is the resemblance of woven baskets; there is a crisscross effect created between the tiles, and this pattern adds texture and complexity to your walls or floors. This pattern is excellent for home decor in case you seek an appeal of a rustic or artisan feel to it. To achieve the touch and texture appearance, opt for 75 X 300 mm Matt Pink subway wall tiles. You can use a pattern like this one for the bathroom walls and the floor in the living room with a perfect blend of style and functionality.
Brick Pattern
This brick pattern, also known as a running bond, results in staggered rows of subway tiles. This provides a look of traditional brick walls. The pattern gives a timeless and clean appearance that can be used for just about any room in the house. This includes a kitchen backsplash or bathroom flooring. Use Face-Impex‘s 75 x 300 mm Polished Mango Yellow subway wall tiles to warm up your space while creating brightness in that area.
Chevron Pattern
For a bolder look, you could consider chevron. This pattern comes with tiles set in an inverted V-shape creating bold and dynamic aesthetics. Chevron patterns can be outstanding in large spaces, and it’s lovely for the walls of a living room or the bathroom. So, let’s talk about the 100 X 200 mm Polished Tiffany Blue subway wall tiles from Face-Impex. They give a stunning look to any large wall installation.
Stack Bond Pattern
This pattern is neat and minimalist, good for use in minimalist designs. In the case of the stack bond pattern, one tile lies atop another in the form of orderly lines, hence producing straight lines. This pattern is excellent for contemporary houses where everything has to be just simple and ordered. For that sleek look in a contemporary way, consider using Face-Impex 100 X 200 mm Polished Z-Black subway wall tiles. This type will give your space a sense of order and cleaned up, especially for small areas such as the bathroom or the backsplash in the kitchen.
How to Choose the Right Subway Wall Tile Pattern
To choose the right tile pattern you must consider the space that you will work on and the outlook that you want to achieve. Here’s how you can select the perfect pattern for your home:
Consider the Size of the Space
They allow for the perception that, such as when you have a little bathroom, it is bigger if you’re stacking the bond or using a brick pattern. Clean horizontal lines also seem to open up the space due to these patterns. Bigger rooms such as living areas or kitchens do well in bolder patterns like chevron or herringbone, depending on if you want that movement and drama to create a great feeling on large, open walls. Face-Impex 75 X 150 mm Matt Blood Red subway wall tiles will make a statement, no matter the size of the room
Choose Style
Be sure to purchase the subway tile in an arrangement that gives testimony to the style you envision in the house. A brick pattern is timeless and classic. If you are looking for a bolder look for your space, herringbone or chevron patterns can be the perfect fit. For minimalism, you will surely get a clean and modern look in full-stack bond design. For example, the use of Matt Aqua subway wall tiles measuring 200 x 200 mm gives off a very minimalist serene space.
Installation Complexity
It’s also worthwhile to ponder how tough it’s going to be to set up each kind of pattern. Herringbone and chevron patterns require so many intricacies thus kind of difficult to install without the assistance of professionals. Brick or stack bond will be easier to lay down and you could get it done on your own. In case you are not very sure about the installation process, you should then consult with a professional so that your tiles can be safely laid down.
