Herringbone Tiles: A Classic Choice for Stylish Homes

Herringbone tiles are a timeless design element that has stood the test of time. Their unique pattern adds a sense of sophistication and movement to any space, making them a popular choice for homeowners and designers alike. At The Blue Space, we offer an extensive range of herringbone tiles to help you transform your home into a masterpiece.

What Are Herringbone Tiles?

Herringbone tiles are named after the distinctive pattern they create, which resembles the bones of a herring fish. The design is achieved by arranging rectangular tiles in a V-shaped pattern, resulting in a visually dynamic and elegant look. This classic layout can be customised to suit both traditional and modern interiors, making it incredibly versatile.

Why Choose Herringbone Tiles?

Herringbone tiles offer more than just aesthetic appeal. Their unique layout provides several practical and stylistic benefits.

Timeless Appeal

The herringbone pattern has been used for centuries, particularly in European architecture, and remains a go-to choice for adding a touch of elegance to any space. This classic design works beautifully with a variety of interior styles, from vintage to contemporary.

Versatility in Application

Herringbone tiles can be used in almost any room in your home. They are a popular choice for bathroom walls, kitchen splashbacks, and even feature walls in living areas. Our range includes options like white tiles for a clean, minimalist look or charcoal tiles for a bold and dramatic effect.

Enhances Perception of Space

The herringbone pattern can make small spaces appear larger and more dynamic. By drawing the eye along the diagonal lines, it creates a sense of movement and depth that adds interest to any area, particularly in compact rooms like bathrooms or narrow corridors.

Where to Use Herringbone Tiles

Bathrooms

Herringbone tiles are perfect for bathrooms, offering a combination of style and functionality. Use them to create stunning shower walls or accentuate vanity areas. For a luxurious touch, consider options like marble-look tiles that combine the elegance of marble with the durability of porcelain or ceramic.

Kitchens

In kitchens, herringbone tiles make excellent splashbacks, adding texture and sophistication to the space. For a modern twist, explore our subway tiles collection and arrange them in a herringbone pattern to elevate your kitchen design.

Living Areas

Herringbone tiles aren’t just for functional spaces. They can create striking feature walls or fireplace surrounds in living rooms and bedrooms. For a contemporary look, try using grey tiles or black tiles.

Materials and Colours

Material Options

At The Blue Space, we offer herringbone tiles in a variety of materials, including ceramic and porcelain. Porcelain tiles are an excellent choice for their durability and low maintenance, while ceramic tiles are perfect for achieving intricate designs on a budget.

Colour Choices

Colour plays a crucial role in setting the tone of your space. Light tones such as those in our beige tiles collection create a warm, inviting atmosphere, while darker shades like blue tiles or green tiles add depth and intrigue.

Tips for Installing Herringbone Tiles

Installing herringbone tiles requires precision to ensure the pattern aligns perfectly. It’s often best to work with an experienced professional who can handle the intricate details of the layout. Proper planning and the use of high-quality adhesives are essential to achieve a flawless finish.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a herringbone tile pattern?
A herringbone tile pattern is a distinctive arrangement where rectangular tiles are laid at a 90-degree angle to each other, creating a 'V' shape that resembles the skeleton of a herring fish. This classic design adds visual interest and elegance to both floors and walls.
Is the herringbone pattern outdated?
Not at all! The herringbone pattern is a timeless design that has regained popularity, especially with modern twists like using longer, rectangular tiles or incorporating materials such as terracotta. Its versatility allows it to complement both traditional and contemporary interiors.
Can herringbone tiles be used on both floors and walls?
Absolutely! Herringbone tiles add visual interest to any surface, making them suitable for both floor and wall installations. They are commonly used in bathrooms, kitchens, and living areas to create striking feature walls or elegant flooring.
Does installing a herringbone pattern require more tiles?
Installing a herringbone pattern may require additional tiles due to the cuts needed to achieve the design, especially around the edges of the room. It's advisable to purchase extra tiles to account for this and any potential mistakes during installation.
What size tile is best for a herringbone pattern?
Tiles where the longer side is evenly divisible by the shorter side work best for herringbone patterns. Common sizes include 3×12, 3×6, and 2×4 inches. Choosing tiles with these proportions ensures a cohesive and aesthetically pleasing layout.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best tile finish for a bathroom, matte or gloss?

Matte tiles are trending strongly in Australian bathrooms for their contemporary look and practical ability to hide water spots and fingerprints. Gloss tiles reflect light and can make a bathroom feel brighter and larger, but show water marks and smudges more readily. For shower recesses and wet floors, matte or satin finishes with good slip resistance are generally preferred.

How many tiles do I need to order for my bathroom?

Measure your total wall and floor surface area in square metres, then add a 10–15% wastage allowance for cuts, breakages, and future repairs. For complex layouts with diagonal patterns or feature inserts, increase the wastage to 15–20%. Always order all tiles from the same batch (check the shade lot/batch number) as tiles from different batches can vary slightly in colour.

How do I choose between floor tiles and wall tiles?

Floor tiles must have an adequate slip resistance rating (P3 minimum for domestic bathrooms) and be durable enough for foot traffic. Wall tiles can be glazed ceramic, porcelain, or natural stone, they don't need to carry load but should be moisture-resistant. Many Australian renovators choose matching or coordinating floor and wall tiles from the same range for a cohesive look.

What tile size is best for a small bathroom in Australia?

For small bathrooms, tiles between 300 x 300mm and 600 x 300mm often work well on both walls and floors. Smaller mosaic or subway tiles (75 x 150mm or 100 x 200mm) are a classic choice for shower walls. While large format tiles can also work in small spaces, they require a very level substrate and expert installation. Avoid tiles that are too small on floors (like 50 x 50mm mosaics) in large quantities, as the increased grout lines can make a space feel busier.

How do I incorporate feature tiles without over-designing the bathroom?

The most effective approach is to choose one feature zone and use your feature tile there, a full-height shower wall, the bath surround wall, or the vanity splashback area. Keep the remaining surfaces in a neutral or complementary field tile. This creates impact without visual clutter. Limit your palette to two or three complementary materials for a cohesive result.

What is the slip resistance rating I need for bathroom floor tiles?

Australian Standards (AS 4586) require bathroom floor tiles to have a minimum slip resistance rating of P3 for domestic bathrooms and P4 or P5 for wet areas like shower recesses. The Blue Space recommends checking the slip resistance rating of any tile you're considering for floor use, particularly in the shower. Matte and textured porcelain tiles generally offer better slip resistance than polished or gloss finishes.

What is the difference between ceramic and porcelain tiles?

Porcelain tiles are fired at higher temperatures and are denser, less porous, and harder than ceramic tiles. This makes porcelain more water-resistant, more durable, and suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications, including high-traffic floors. Ceramic tiles are lighter and easier to cut, making them a practical choice for bathroom walls and splashbacks. For bathroom floors and wet areas, porcelain is generally the preferred option in Australia.
