Herringbone Tiles

Herringbone Tiles

Herringbone is a tile pattern where rectangular tiles are laid at an angle to create a distinctive diagonal effect. Affectionately named after the fish herring due to its similar bone structure, herringbone tiles are a popular feature in contemporary bathrooms. Shop our wide range of tiles in varying colours and finishes to create the perfect herringbone look in your home.

Herringbone patterned tiles have seen a major revival in recent years. This is no surprise, given their popularity in interiors magazines and among top interior influencers. They offer a traditional look without the need for wood and are sure to stay stylish for years to come.

Not all of our products are "true herringbone"; you can achieve the look with longer plank-shaped tiles laid in a staggered herringbone effect. Want to stand out from the crowd? Try rotating your staggered tiles so that the longest sides run parallel to the walls. This approach looks especially stylish on floors and walls when using tiles that are shorter in length.

FAQ's

Herringbone is a zig-zag layout made by laying rectangular tiles at an angle, creating a finish that feels more crafted (and more expensive) than it really is. Whether you’re using classic metro tiles or longer planks, herringbone is a great choice for bathrooms, kitchens and beyond. Here’s what you need to know before you start.

 

What are herringbone tiles?

Herringbone tiles aren’t a special type of tile; they’re standard rectangular tiles laid in a zig-zag pattern. Each one is placed at a 45° angle to create that interlocking V-shape. It’s a look you’ll spot in boutique hotels and Pinterest-worthy kitchens.

 

Where can I use herringbone tiles?

Pretty much anywhere. Popular spots include:

  • Bathroom walls and shower area
  • Kitchen splashbacks
  • Cloakroom feature walls
  • Hallway and entrance floors
  • Open-plan living spaces

Herringbone can help to make any room look a little bigger. The angled pattern draws your eye along the surface, creating a feeling of movement and space. For example, a vertical layout makes ceilings feel higher, while a horizontal layout widens narrow rooms.

 

What styles work with herringbone?

Herringbone can work in a range of interior styles. A few examples include:

  • Scandi or Japandi: Use light tiles with clean grout lines.
  • Classic bathrooms: Choose white metro tiles with soft grey grout.
  • Modern kitchens: Opt for gloss tiles in deep green, navy blue or black.
  • Rustic interiors: Try zellige effect or textured tiles for character.

It all comes down to the tile finish and grout colour you pair it with.

 

What tile sizes work best for herringbone?

In terms of tile sizes, some popular options are:

  • Metro tiles (200 by 100mm)
  • Slim planks (around 70 by 280mm)
  • Compact rectangles (around 75 by 300mm)

Longer tiles feel more contemporary, while shorter tiles give a traditional edge.

 

Is herringbone harder to install?

It’s a bit more technical than a straight lay, as the angles need to stay consistent, However, it’s totally doable with a bit of preparation.

Some great tips are to use tile spacers to keep everything lined up, start from the centre of your wall or floor, and, if in doubt, call in a pro tiler; they’ll handle it with no problem.
