10 Herringbone Tile Ideas

By Floor & Decor

Herringbone is one of the simplest and most historic tile installation patterns that’s still a favorite today. Check out these herringbone tile ideas to transform your space with a look you’ll love for years to come.

1. Create a Kitchen Focal Point

Use a striking subway tile to create a herringbone backsplash to make your kitchen stand out. The herringbone design adds an extra level of customization and detail that goes a long way.

2. Get a Noticeable Bathroom Upgrade

Herringbone tile adds an element of luxury, which is much needed in most bathrooms. For flooring installation, be sure to consider the scale of the tile in comparison to your space. For example, a sizeable bathroom suite can take on a larger tile, while a herringbone mosaic would complement a smaller half bathroom’s scale.

3. Make the Shower Something to Sing About

A double-herringbone pattern is a unique and vibrant choice for tight quarters and adds visual depth. Bring the whole look together with contrasting grout to accentuate the pattern and coordinate shower details.

4. Create an Art Piece with Mosaics

If you’re looking for shortcut, herringbone mosaic tile is a great way to add a subtle pattern as an accent. These small tiles come in a prefabricated design for easy installation.

5. Elevate Classic White Tile

Choose a classic white herringbone backsplash for a timeless and versatile statement. Consider your tile length to mix things up. Select a longer tile to elongate the ceiling height and opt for standard lengths beneath lower cabinetry and in tight quarters.

6. Make a Bold Statement

Make a bold statement and dare to be different with a splash of blue herringbone tile. This simple tile pattern makes the bathroom look bigger with depth. Gold accents are a go-to pair with blue to elevate and polish the look.

7. Turn up the Contrast

Transform your small bathroom using contrasting colors with mixed installation patterns. Polished finishes turn up the volume even more or opt for a quieter look with a matte subway tile.

8. Create Form & Function with a Shower Niche

For a perfect finishing touch, add a herringbone mosaic shower niche. This practical and stylish storage solution is completely customizable.

9. Be Unexpected with a Brick Backsplash

Opt for pre-fabricated thin brick herringbone panels for added texture in your kitchen. It makes an architectural statement.

10. Upgrade Everyday Spaces

Make overlooked spaces more special with attention to detail. This marble herringbone backsplash makes doing laundry feel more luxurious.
