Floor Tile Patterns Limited Only by Your Imagination

The floor is typically the largest expanse of space in a room, so treat it as an ideal way to give your room depth and style. Patterned tile floors are a fantastic way to add texture and visual interest to your Severna Park, Chantilly, or Washington DC home. Tile patterns you choose for your floor can create a number of visual effects, such as making the room appear larger, smaller, and brighter.

When choosing the tile pattern and color combination for your floor, work from existing architectural elements and the decor of the room. If your home style is more traditional, try a classic cobblestone or herringbone pattern. For a more modern take, consider a monochromatic look or angular pattern. Take into account any transition between that room and its neighboring rooms. Consider how different type of tile can influence your design style; ceramic brings a different look than does granite, mosaic, limestone, or slate.

Floor Tile Patterns

If you're trying to make a small room appear larger, choose a tight floor tile pattern and light colors. In comparison, large tile patterns, as well as dark or vivid colors can make a room look smaller. For a serene look, use a simple design or monochromatic scheme; to bring in an element of surprise, opt for an interesting mosaic. Lastly, choose a floor tile pattern that can complement any décor changes or transitions - after all, it's much easier to update your living room's sofa than it is to change out the tile flooring.
