Thanks for watching!!

[@claudiahansen4938]

Beautiful, creative ideas, illustrated with on point example photos. I didn't imagine there could be so many variations!

[@caliornelas4294]

Your design tips are always illuminating and delivered with so much clarity and great examples 🤩 and this video is fun-tastic!! I didn’t even know I have preferences on tile layouts and had no idea how. Thank you!!! I was lost on what / how to tile a bathroom that I wanted a black and white theme, and you did MAGIC indeed by showing me the possibility of square tiles turned 90 degrees! I am now found!!

Gosh, you explained what my senses see. I love patterns. I just went bonkers at the designs of marble and patterns at St. Peter's Basilica at the Vatican. I'm glad I found you. You have great taste. Thank you.

[@dmarkj22]

My wife and I are having a new bathroom built in our house and your video provided TONS of valuable information. Thank you so much!!

[@Designchickee]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching and commenting!! And good luck!

[@micheleclifford7632]

What a great and thorough explanation of tile options. We are get ready to install a large bathroom shower tile and found this video most interesting. Hmmm. My tile man (hubby) is going to love you (us). Found the dark herringbone tile exhibited in shower most delicious of options. May haven’t to seriously alter existing choices to include this. Thanks again for the updated info on tile choices. I’m stoked to share and employ...Just Brilliant!!!

[@Designchickee]

Yay! Glad it was helpful!

[@dianabanks1338]

Oh my gosh. Thank you. I was in the tile store for 4 hours. Brought home 2 samples and well one is good one is not. I’m headed back tomorrow and I will now have a good idea on what to get after watching your video. Thank you so much.

[@Designchickee]

You are so welcome!

[@marieclaudenormandin7162]

[@crystalgan2868]

Great video! So valuable to someone going through a bathroom reno! A couple questions: what visual tricks apply for large rectangular floor tiles? Are they the same rules? Also can/should you mix different patters for floor vs. shower tile or is it better to match the patterns between floor and wall?

[@Nebuchadnezzar18]

I'm an electrician. However I have an interest in tile. I usually do tile for people that want high end custom work. Your video is greatly helpful. In understanding better uses of tile creating interesting and unique looks.

[@Designchickee]

Cool, thanks so much! Glad it was helpful.

[@RonnieMcDee]

This is good! I sell tile and wanted to learn more. Somethings I noticed in the field I will edit and post below. 1. When doing a running brick pattern be careful with 50 split. Longer man made tiles have a bow and at 50 you will have a low point meeting a high point.

[@dawnbowie352]

Love this video! I'll be using the double-tile herring bone pattern on my bath floor now that I've seen this and while it may require more cuts by the installer, it will dress up my vanity and shower by miles.

[@j.h.adventure2748]

Great video and very interesting patterns! I'm one of those tile setters.

[@Designchickee]

Very cool! Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@camellia8625]

Thank you for such an extremely helpful video which couldn’t have come at a better time for me - am trying to work out a stylish and yet affordable way of doing continuous wall to wall floor tiles across my whole flat as I do not like dust and want something pet friendly. If you like the idea and think there may be enough interest can you please consider doing a video on practicalities such as how to design it in such a way so as to allow invisible access to pipes in sections, prevent water damage / drainage issues, optimising the efficiency of underfloor heating, sound and heat insulation as well as how to make a room with a tiled floor sound less echoey, considerations to prevent cracking (particularly if using larger format tiles), implications of differing materials particularly in terms of installation and long term wear.

[@silviaperdomo8215]

Great visual tile ideas for my upcoming remodel project. Thanks 😊

[@Designchickee]

Great! I'm so happy it was useful for you! Good luck with the remodel! And thanks for watching.

Awesome! Thank you!

[@scdobserver835]

My fav is quite rare. I like octagonal tiles but they have a lot of hexagonal ones. I also like fish scale ones too.

[@Designchickee]

I love all those too...but this video I was highlighting different patterns with tiles and hex, octagonal and scales are pretty much the only pattern you can do with them. But I do love them! Especially hex tiles... love love. Thanks for watching!!

[@carolannnoble3981]

I so enjoy your design videos. I also like subway tile installed vertically. My favorite is the black and white square tile on floor 💕 An idea née to me is using 2 or 3 rectangular tiles to make squares going in opposite directions. Many thanks!

[@camellia8625]

Thank you for such an informative and helpful video perfectly timed for me as I am trying to plan out wall to wall floor tiling throughout the whole of my flat as it is more allergen friendly / pet friendly. If you like the idea and think there may be enough interest can you please do a more in depth video on practical considerations to do with tiling such as how to design invisible access to things such as invisible access to pipes in case of a plumbing emergency, how to lay it and prep the floor in such a way so as to avoid cracking (particularly large format tiles), how to have it best work with underfloor heating, sound reduction, preventing heat loss and water leaks through a tiled floor if on a first floor, avoiding grout issues etc

[@biondatiziana]

Great info - thanks!

[@danielboland3546]

Thank you for so many great and perfectly described options. I'm doing a 21'x16' kitchen and am ready to take a direction away from ordinary now,

[@nancycampbell6098]

First time watching and really enjoyed your information on tile flooring. I am laying my front hallway tile, 12x24, deciding between a straight herringbone or cross hatched. Not sure yet. Question about baseboards and door trim. I am doing a 5 1/2 baseboard with a slight bevel at the end and I want to do a straight rectangle door trim in a craftsman style-longer on top and bottom then sides. Mixing the two types of trim is OK, right?? Do you have a video on trim and baseboards? Thanks Nancy

[@ashakuldip1657]

Love this video!

[@bellabb5127]

Very helpful!

[@cynthiaallred8236]

My tile installer suggested using polished 12 x 24 vertical tile in the shower and matte on the floor. A couple of people at tile stores said that would not look as cohesive or spa-like as using the matte tile throughout. I am inclined to agree even though the polished tile is more striking. What is your opinion on this? 11:20

[@MrMynamesjake]

Love your videos keep it up😊😊😊

Thank you so much 😀

I used a 3x12 inch subway tile in creamy grey straight stacked in my tub surround. It's so nice. I can't for the life of me decide on a kitchen backsplash. I don't want to make a mistake.

[@rosanap.7680]

I have a flooring dilemma. My kitchen is in the heart of my home and flanked by two different patterns of wood flooring. On one side, which is the front half of the house built in the ‘40s, there’s beautiful golden oak parquet wood flooring. On the other side, which is an addition added in the 2000’s, there is 3-1/4 x 58-1/2 golden oak plank wood flooring. What flooring should I install in the kitchen, and more importantly, what color? My kitchen has white shaker cabinets with matte champagne brass hardware, including on the stainless steel appliances. Counters are creamy white marble look quartz. I’d love to do some type of wood but that means that the kitchen wood floors would look different than the adjacent wood floors on either side. I don’t see how I can make 3 adjacent wood floors work. Any ideas? I’m considering a tile in a mid tone gray in a large herringbone pattern.

[@Makaielts]

In Pakistan Flower pattern tiles are very common in society which looks vibrant and colourful. Actually different society has different perspective regarding designs so what i seem beautiful may be casual for other. So what you have portrayed is your perspective which i believe is sobar and decent. Thx

[@robertscarpetti4656]

Love your videos! I sent a message to your company, in regards to advice on my white cabinet shaker kitchen back-splash with stainless steel dark gray Kitchen Aid appliances. We have Calcutta Brazil Quartzite/Dolomite Honed Counter-top with dominant veins and we are seeking to have a great offset with a back-splash without taking away the counter tops accents. We want a timeless piece however not a subway style since we want to have some different classic and timeless piece. We were looking at a gray arabesque, other designers suggested to use white vein marble. Any suggested styles and colors would be great. Thank you again for your great videos and valuable insights!!!

[@wendypoyhonen8472]

So I'm going to use a 2.5 x 8 inch Riad tile in a creamy white for my backsplash. (My cabinets are white the color is Snowbound and my slabs are Perla Venata) I have thought about just using herringbone pattern but have also thought about vertical subway done in 1/3's. Here is my dilema, I have decided to mix in glass, Glazzio Americana series (Coupe de Ville) I was going to cut the sheet into 1/4" strips to place between the subway tiles. What is the best way to accomplish this?

[@HarrySevenEagles]

is there a tile design app? I'd like to practice different layouts for a shower cover.

[@evelynmelian-glick436]

I needed this video. I’m still debating on what time to use with my black granite countertops. My kitchen cabinets will be a soft white but I really want some glam. Subway tiles are everywhere, and are mostly boring. What color should I use?

[@Designchickee]

Look to the rest of your home. Find a colour that ties it all together...just make it subtle. Not too bold. Thanks for watching!

[@richfjr1300]

ok its a very small bathroom, 1/2 bath, no shower...i'm doing the floor with tile, say its 5' x 5'..the walls are gray, the cabinet is a light brown...i didn't get a toilet yet but it will be either almond or biscuit....what pattern do you recommend? i was going to go with hexagonal but let's see what you think?

[@belverlyjameson5497]

Can you take the wood look title and do it as a herringbone pattern

[@jayq8882]

I’m buying a new build home and my shower wall comes with square 3x3 white tile. What ideas would work in accenting them without changing it all out (at a significant cost)? I was thinking of a horizontal glass tile stripe going along the wall under the shower head but is it bad to mix square and rectangle tile?

[@Snshine257]

Is there a certain size floor tile that you should use for a small half bath? Can you use a large 12x24 tile size?

[@joelthomas79]

As an installer I would like to add 2 cents. The cost of installation can vary greatly between all of those patterns due to tile waste and time. If cost is of no concern then yes, a Lamborghini (herringbone shower with multiple tile colors and offset grout) looks better than a Ford Focus (subway tiles with matching grout)

[@phill3623]

This is a really good video. Am about to lay a large format floor tile, 30 inches by 18 inches in a room 22ft by 13 ft and can't decide what pattern to use. I think third offset may look good or just stacked horizontally. Have you any tips? Thanks again.

[@donnarichards9514]

I painted my cabinets Benjamin Moore Collingwood Gray first. I know I did this backwards but I was hoping to keep my corian countertops. But, the 90's flesh color of the corian did not look any better. They did look great with the original pickled maple but I then decided to replace them with Emerstone Borghini Classic quartz. They are an off-white with a gris vein that looks great with the cabinets. My dilema is picking a tile backsplash. I want to do something simple with a pretty type of subway, maybe like the ones that are not smooth that reflect the light differently, but nothing more elaborate. White tiles make the countertop look dirty, creamy white are too yellow, gray clashes with the cabinet color. I also am replacing my can lights with led 5000 to give a more white light in the room that is south facing with no windows in the work area but does have a lot of windows much further from the kitchen work area in the open floor plan. This makes the kitchen very shadowy in the day time. HELP!!!

Very informative video on tiles/patterns! I am renovating my Master bathroom, looking for a tranquil place. Walls light gray, floors, gray/white veining 12x24 porcelain matte tile. The shower center wall gray/white herringbone matte tile with the two remaining walls with the gray/white veining tile. I am not certain about the shower floor tile?? Need help with this tile choice (solid gray)?? what do you recommend??

[@Designchickee]

Solid gray tile would be nice... maybe a herringbone too.

[@kookoo4mike]

Lol. “Tile installers love me”. 😂😂😂

[@GarwoodNick]

Enemies with the tile setter 😅 But a good designer can make a tile setter's career. I've installed mostly boring designs perfectly. Those jobs have all been useless for marketing.

[@Designchickee]

It's always a team effort! I do have installers that appreciate a challenge. It's like you say... if you're good at what you do, you'll love the challenge and it will makes us both look good!

I have a picket tile for my shower and want to do harringbone for my floor do you think it will be too busy. they are both plain Ivory color

[@Designchickee]

I'd tend to do similar shapes if you're doing different tiles... like a picket tile and a hex tile or a brick pattern with a herringbone pattern. Similar shapes look like they belong together. Good luck!

How do you custom match grout color to tile color?

[@Designchickee]

That would be a difficult process... just find a grout that matches the tile as closely as possible. That's your best bet!

[@rockthevote398]

45 degrees not 90 for diagonal stacking....same for the squared herringbone tile....

[@denised.8963]

I’ve purchased a matte grey from Lowes offset at 1/3 shift For bathroom floor remodel, I have designers block for shower floor and wall tile I’m afraid my choice will be boring so many choices- the bathroom is for parents 85 years young . So outdated from 2004

[@amykoenig7354]

Is marble look for bathrooms outdated. White with gray lines.

[@Designchickee]

No.... classic!

[@AlhassanMuhammad-w7e]

How can I make different designs of tiles?

[@mariacamacho4782]

Can I put a pattern of vertical tiles between horizontal subway tiles?

[@Designchickee]

I'd be worried it's not a classic tile pattern and it would date easily. I tend towards classic design when it comes to things that can't be changed easily. Good luck!

[@juliaorme8176]

Thank you! We’re about to remodel our kitchen, and I found a perfect dove gray subway tile, but it only comes in 3x12 and 2x4. The 2x4 is too small. The backsplash area isn’t huge, but our kitchen is fairly large. It’s a transitional style. I can’t find the same shade in 3x6 anywhere. What do you think about going with a 3x12? Is it more of a bathroom look, or would it work in the running brick 1/3 offset pattern?

[@stellar.9892]

Very nice video, but 90 degrees was confused with 45 degrees. Turning pattern with 90 degrees does nothing for checkerboard.

[@Designchickee]

Correct! Thanks for catching my mistake.

[@katrussell6819]

You didn't do basketweave, one of my favorites. My 1930s house has stone tiles (likely reused) in the entryway in this pattern. I love it. I agree that herringbone is the most beautiful pattern.

[@Designchickee]

Basketweave is very similar to crosshatch though! ;) Love a basketweave mosaic too!

[@meier127]

Herringbone good for kitchen backsplash?

[@Designchickee]

Yes! Classic!

[@mountain-view310]

Yes !!!

[@madonnahagedorn5649]

The square tiles we still have in our 2nd bathroom, yet to be remodeled. They look so dated.

[@Designchickee]

They're coming back into style! LOL

[@zeus_2001]

When I got to the multi-colored cross hatch pattern, I felt a great disturbance in the suburbs...as if millions of tile installers cried out in terror, and were suddenly silenced.

[@MrAdi1806]

Where is hexagon or beehive pattern

[@Designchickee]

You can’t change the look of a hex tile pattern. That’s why it’s not included in this video.
