If less is more is your mantra, or you like to go bold or go home, we’ve given you a quick low-down on tried and tested tiling patterns to get you started...

Stack Bond

A classic pattern that showcases simplicity at its best. Tiles are laid on top of each other to form a neat grid. A great all-rounder pattern that adds an effortless and contemporary look to any space.

Where do we love to use it?

Perfect for a splashback alongside harmonising timber accents to create a modern, Scandi-inspired kitchen.

Vertical Stack Bond

A classic pattern with a bit of a twist. Tiles are laid in a vertical straight stack to create a contemporary and cool feel. Perfect for accentuating the height of a space and adding a touch of drama.

Where do we love to use it?

We’ll never say no to a vertical stack feature wall in the bathroom, as it gives an illusion of height and space to a room that tends to typically feel more enclosed.

Brick Bond

If the name didn’t give it away, tiles are laid in a brick-like pattern with each tile overlapping the one above and below by half. An easy way to create a staggered look that’s reminiscent of trendy New York subway stations.

Where do we love to use it?

Our Walkerville 38 in Harpley, Werribee showcases how you can feature a vertical brick bond pattern as a feature in your main bathroom.

Herringbone

A creative way to accentuate a neutral tile, this pattern draws your eyes outward to give the illusion of a larger space. Long tiles are laid to meet at a 90 degree angle and form a V-shape in a broken zig-zag. A timeless pattern that works with both neutral tones and pops of colour to add interest to sleek modern interiors.

Where do we love to use it?

It adds a special focal point to any kitchen or laundry splashback!

Mosaic

A fun way to bring any room to life. Recurring small shapes are arranged to form a larger pattern. It’s the ultimate pick if you want to strike the right balance between a zen and energetic space.

Where do we love to use it?

It's the perfect backdrop for a soak in your tub or your vanity splashback. The Balsa 28 in Harpley, Werribee shows how you can keep your mosaic feature simple, clean and sophisticated.
