Hooray for Herringbone

For those who like their classics with a twist, those who are all inย onย geometricย patterns, and those who just like visual focal points, herringbone patternsย should get all the consideration no matter what room you are renovating.

This classic pattern gets its name from the angular design that resembles the shape and bone structure of herring fish. โ€œChoosing a herringbone pattern invites a little style into the design that ends up making aย huge difference visually,โ€ says Normandy Designer Jackie Jensen.

Subway tileย is aย perenniallyย popular choice for a backsplashย and it looks great laid out in aย herringbone pattern. โ€œUsing a timeless material like subway tile in a classic herringbone pattern bringsย yourย spaceย a stylish look thatย transcends trends,โ€ Jackie says.

“You can also vary the colors of the subway tileย backsplash. You can do an ombre herringbone pattern orย add some tonal accentsย for depth and interest,โ€ says Jackie.

Herringbone tile isnโ€™t just for the walls โ€“ or the kitchen.

โ€œLarge format tilesย laid out in a herringbone patternย onย a bathroom floor are a real statement,โ€ says Jackie.

If you prefer something smaller,ย choose smaller mosaic tiles, which can go anywhere from the floor to a chic shower niche. โ€œHerringbone tileย can truly go anywhere with beautiful results,โ€ says Jackie.
