7 DIFFERENT SUBWAY TILE PATTERNS
-
Horizontal Stack
If you are new to tiling, this is the pattern for you! I love repetition in design, and the horizontal stack provides just that. It is classic, timeless look.
-
Horizontal Offset
This is probably the most popular layout used today in subway tile because it works so well, and it’s my personal favorite.
I used this layout in our DIY kitchen remodel:
And our DIY laundry room remodel:
-
Vertical Stack
If you love repetition but want slight twist on the horizontal stack, try the vertical stack. It is easy to lay, and it gives an unexpected twist to your space.
-
Vertical Offset
If you want a twist on the horizontal offset, take it vertical!
-
Straight Herringbone
This pattern adds a little fun to subway tile, and this is the pattern I used in the bathroom I’m currently remodeling. It works well with the classic 3×6 subway tiles.
-
Crosshatch
This pattern begins to create the illusions of squares, and it would work well with any decor.
-
Herringbone
If you’re ready for a pattern that is challenging and looks amazing, then herringbone is for you!
I used this pattern above my stove:
