Hexagonal Mosaics
Hexagonal mosaics are an adaptable design element, perfect for use across styles and colour schemes. Use hexagonal tiles in contemporary kitchen backsplashes for an eye-catching statement, or use them to create soothing bathroom vanity walls. In addition to their style versatility, hexagonal tiles are easy to keep clean and durable enough for wet applications.
Hexagon mosaics feature an iconic shape resembling natural features, like snowflakes, honey bee honeycombs, or the shells of marine creatures. Their intriguing geometric design adds intrigue and fascination, adding extra interest and dimension to any room’s design scheme. Choose from various colours and finishes including glossy or matte options to meet any design scheme perfectly.
Hexagonal mosaics can create a striking geometric pattern on your shower floor. This design choice is particularly well suited to homeowners seeking a minimalist look or limited bathroom space, and hexagonal mosaics can combine with various tile shapes and sizes to create unique floors – for instance combining it with herringbone tiles to form an interesting chevron effect; or opting for hexagon mosaics with honed finishes which provide superior traction over standard 12×12 tiles when used on shower floors.
Herringbone Patterns
Herringbone and chevron patterns are classic tile patterns that add visual interest and texture to a room, whether as backsplash, accent wall, or whole flooring layout designs. Both patterns boast playful zigzag designs perfect for adding visual complexity.
A herringbone pattern consists of an arrangement of equal-sized rectangles arranged in an undulated zigzag design, so named due to its perceived likeness to herring fish bones. Each rectangular block is placed at a 45-degree angle from one another with pairs offset from both above and below it for a sophisticated, stylish, yet easy-to-lay tile design that emulates this unique herringbone tiling pattern.
Herringbone SA tiles patterns can be created using square tiles, long strips of wood or bricks; or any combination thereof. This provides interior designers or weekend homemakers with endless creative options; from the classic herringbone design that resembles broken zigzags to more formal chevron lay patterns, as well as double, triple and quadruple herringbone layouts.
Herringbone patterns add visual interest and texture to a kitchen backsplash, pairing perfectly with light subway tiles while providing an eye-catching alternative to straight horizontal or vertical stripes. However, it is best to limit the number of different colours used and avoid placing it near multi-coloured butcher-block countertops or heavily veined marble surfaces for best results.
Patterned Tiles
Patterned tiles are an easy and cost-effective way to add personality and visual interest to walls and floors. Crafted to combine creative details with durability, these durable ceramics can withstand heat, water damage, scratches, wear-and-tear, as well as normal wear-and-tear.
Finding a pattern to complement your home has never been simpler! Curvy shapes can evoke natural elements like wind, water or vines while exotic options like scale shaped tiles that resemble fluffy clouds or your favourite fish can also add character. Scaled tiles also last longer and cost much less than real wood inlays!
If you prefer straight lines over curves, straight or diagonal patterned tiles offer a classic aesthetic. Another popular trend is mixing and matching patterned tiles for an eye-catching statement; this can help make your bathroom less of a clinical space and more like home.
