When you’re preparing for a home renovation project, the flooring material is one of the most important features that should be updated. The style and quality of the floor will influence the value of the property and the appeal of the interior setting. If you want to have a bit of fun with tile, Alair Homes Hudson offers a few ways to lay it and make a statement in the home.

1. Bands

If you have a small room in the home that feels like a tunnel, consider laying tiles in bands. This will make it easy to use different patterns with wide and short bands. Each band can have a different effect and will add a high level of detail to the space.

2. Hexagons

Hexagons are effective at adding more fluidity to rectangular rooms and can create swirling shapes due to the repeating pattern. The unique shape of the tiles will break up right angles that can cause the room to appear bland.

3. Herringbone Design

Herringbone is extremely trendy and chic when you want to stray from subway tiles. It is a classic look that will make a dramatic statement and can work as the focal point in the room.

4. Inset Stripes

Inset stripes stand out for their relaxed pattern that is minimal and easy on the eyes. You can make the project affordable by using inexpensive white tiles that are paired with high-end mosaic tiles for the stripes.

5. Area Rug Tiles

Create the illusion of an area rug on your tiled floor with different patterns. Trim the print with a border and white tiles on the end to make it look complete and to dress up a bare entryway.

6. Large Tiles

When you have a large floor area to cover and a smaller budget to work with, large tiles will make the floor look like a solid surface. Lay each tile as closely as possible to the next tile and use the same color of grout to make the floor look like one slab of stone.

7. Vertical Stripes

Vertical stripes are visually appealing and will make the room appear vast. Choose a black and white pattern that is modern and chic to make the space look high-end.

8. Fish Scale

Fish scale is a traditional look that still works in contemporary homes and has plenty of detail. Use it on the floor of your bathroom when you want a unique style. Fish scale will also create extra grid to prevent slips and will add a beautiful detail.

9. Hopscotch Details

Hopscotch prints are classic with the use of two different square tiles that will make the floor look like it was sprinkled with confetti. You can dress up the floors without making it look overly trendy, which can cause it to look dated.

10. Penny Florets

Penny florets are the perfect design to use in your children’s bathroom or in a laundry room that feels neglected and bare. Choose two different colors that will make the room look cheery and uplifting with the added contrast that it creates in the setting.
