With ceramic tile it is possible to create all sorts of different effects just based on the way that you lay out your tile. Regardless of whether you are making a backsplash, putting tile on the floor, or putting tile on the wall, you have all sorts of ceramic tile patterns to choose from.
First of all, you can create mosaic tile patterns using different colors ( and/or shapes ) of tiles to create the pattern that you like. You can find all sorts of examples of ceramic tile patterns like this either free over the internet or for sale.
You can create your own pattern, using a piece of paper or a software program that can be purchased for this purpose. Design your own ceramic tile art to liven up the room and give it a style all its own.
A simple ceramic tile pattern can be created by alternating different colors, either in a set, or a random way. To design a pattern that goes well with the room, use colors that are already present in that room. Or you might add a totally new color as the main color, and throw small bits of the other colors that are used in the room into your pattern. It's up to you.
Quite a different kind of ceramic tile pattern can be made by using the way the tiles are laid out. You can put them in simple rows, for example, or you can make a brick type pattern.
If you want something more complicated, you can try making the pattern on a diagonal, or doing a herringbone, basket weave, or windmill pattern with the tiles. You can use tiles that are all the same, or use different color tiles to add another level to the design.
You may prefer not to have a repeating pattern, but to set your tiles in a completely random way. Use different shapes, sizes, and/or colors of tiles all mixed together. The tiles can even be broken, to achieve a totally unique look. This technique can be a lot more difficult to master, however, in order to end up with something that looks nice.
As you can see, there are lots of different options when it comes to ceramic tile patterns. Consider the size, shape, and use of the room when deciding what might be the best option for you to use.
