Anyone use herringbone pattern tile in bath?
Comments (3)Have you checked out the website houzz.com? They have some pretty cool photos of just about everything. I'm not sure which part of the tile you would do in a herringbone pattern (shower or floor etc) but found a pic of one that might start you on your path. Personally I think it would look great! Have fun!

Comments (8)No big deal on the actual degree of the angle, however, the overall crookedness and off-angle in relation to the shape of the room is horrible! look at your first pic on the left side. (I know the heater is there. it shouldn't matter) Either you wall is completely out of square, or the measurement on the tile is completely out of whack. See at the top left how there are about 4-5 tiles that end on the 'down' portion of the design? now compare to the bottom left where the design ends on the 'up' side. It's not a slight difference either. As was mentioned, this design needs to be carefully planned and isn't for every application. For instance, since you have a corner angled shower, and you're working w/an angled design, I would have started this design so that it starts in front of the shower Right now you have centered the design on the room itself, w/o taking into consideration the angled corner shower. It looks crooked, doesn't it? That's because of the layout. I would have started the design based on the shower position, and done like: with this layout, it's not going to look crooked because the tile layout is following the same position of the shower. it doesn't help that you have all of these funky, skinny cuts above this red line. This is one of the most difficult patterns to lay and get right. You have to know how to get the correct 45 degree starting point. Not only on the floor, but you also have to mark your tile w/a speed square to get dead center on that. (this one was for my wood floors). Enlarge the pic and look carefully at the blue tape. **I went over it in red so you can see the lines better. the little short one shows the corner edge of the plank that meets up w/the 2nd line, forming a true 45 degree mark. the vertical lines simulate the two chalk lines on the floor. you line up one corner of the plank/tile on one line, and the other corner on the other line. Doing it this assures you get a perfect 45 and that you will have symmetry on both outside edges/borders***...See MoreMaster bath tile design help please?
Comments (7)Thank you, thinkdesignlive! That is what I was trying to decide! I initially loved the bathroom below that has the marble tile with hexagon AND the gray floor. But, I like the herringbone pattern more...I agree with you on a consistent floor to make the bathroom feel bigger. I was considering this floor in the bottom pictures that resemble cement. Do you think I should do this for both floors? Or do you think I should try and pull off the hexagon off with the herringbone pattern? Thank you, Classic Comfort...See MoreSkippack Tile & Stone
