    Understanding Herringbone and Chevron Patterns

    Both of these patterns look quite similar at a single glance. Only upon close observation can you see those slight differences that separate the two.

    Herringbone Pattern

    The Herringbone pattern closely resembles the bones of a fish. And interestingly, this is exactly how the pattern got its name.

    In this pattern, rectangular tiles are arranged in a staggered, zig zag pattern. The ends of the tiles are set at a 90 degree angle to create an intricate effect.

    The way Herringbone is placed creates a dynamic visual that adds movement to any surface.

    Chevron Pattern

    To form a Chevron Pattern, the end of one tile is connected to the starting point of another tile. This arrangement forms a continuous “V” shape and is often more symmetrical than Herringbones. This pattern also offers a clean and directional flow.

    Ideal Applications for Herringbone and Chevron Tiles

    Herringbone and Chevron tiles are highly versatile and can be used in many areas to create dynamic, visually engaging spaces. Here’s are some of the places where these tiles are widely used:

     

    Kitchens

    These tile patterns can be used in splashback or kitchen floors. When used in a splashback, Herringbone and Chevron can add depth and style to your kitchen. On the other hand, using them in the floor area can create a sense of movement. These patterns in floors can even expand the size of the space.

     

    Living Rooms and Entryways

    Herringbone or Chevron tiles used as feature walls in living rooms or entryways create an eye-catching focal point and bring in texture.

    These patterns can even be used in fireplace surrounds to add sophistication to the space.

     

    Outdoor Spaces

    The patterns can be used on patios, pool decks and walkways. They can bring a Mediterranean or coastal feel to patios and decks when paired with outdoor furniture.

    You can also use these patterns on walkways to help guide the flow of movement while adding charm to gardens and pathways.

     

    Staircases

    These patterns can create a stunning visual effect along staircase walls, especially in multi-level homes.

    Chevron or Herringbone can be used on the stair treads to add unexpected but elegant detail to staircases, providing both function and style.

     

    Bathrooms

    If you want a luxurious and timeless visual appeal blend, these tile patterns are perfect for you. Using these patterns, you can create a spa like atmosphere on shower walls and define your shower spaces to contrast them from the rest of the bathroom.

    Benefits of Herringbone and Chevron Tile Patterns

    Using Herringbone and Chevron tiles offers homeowners a range of practical and aesthetic benefits. Here’s a look at the advantages of these patterns:

     

    Unique and Versatile Visual Appeal

    The unique visual appeal provided by both these tiles is what makes them so impressive. The interlocking angle, movement and depth that Herringbone and Chevron bring are dynamic, distinct and exquisite.

    These patterns also are so versatile that they can complement most interior styles.

    You don’t even need to worry about them going out of trend. Classic and timeless choices like these don’t easily go out of style.

     

    Illusion of Space

    Herringbone and Chevron tiles, especially when used on floors, create an illusion of a larger area by subtly guiding the eye along the pattern. This is particularly helpful in small spaces.

    Chevron and Herringbone patterns can make narrow rooms, such as corridors, feel elongated and spacious. This effect also benefits walls, adding height or width perception to a space.

     

    Enhanced Durability and Functionality

    Herringbone and Chevron aren’t just impressive in terms of the visual aspects. These tiles also have practical benefits that add to their value.

    You can easily use them in high traffic areas or busy places. These patterns distribute weight and pressure evenly, making them durable and wear resistant. The interlocking pattern design also adds extra strength.

     

    Increased Property Value

    Sophisticated and intricate patterns like Herringbone/Chevron provides an upscale feel to your house. These designs often appeal to buyers and real estate agents. The attractive and elegant visual appeal of these patterns with their timeless aesthetic can prove to be a long term investment by raising your home’s property value.

     

    Wide Range of Applications

    You can use these patterns on accent walls, backsplashes, flooring. Outdoor areas like patios or pathways look equally stunning with either of these patterns.

    The versatility offered by these tiles along with their flexibility to match various spaces and styles makes them a smart choice.

    How to Choose the Right Herringbone and Chevron Mosaic Tiles for Your Home?

    • Look for neutral tones like grays, beiges and white if you want to go for a classic look. These colours are also great if you want to add in an artistic pattern without overwhelming your space.

    • If you want to add a modern twist to traditional layouts or create a statement, choose contrasting colours that can make your Herringbone/Chevron patterns stand out.

    • Glossy finishes are great if you want a luxurious look. On the other hand, for a more organic look, go for a matte finish. Always also consider your room’s lighting while choosing your finishes.
