Herringbone tiling is back with a vengeance and, right here, you can browse our collection of herringbone mosaic tiles, which are guaranteed to give your home decor a luxurious touch.

Whether you’re looking for a herringbone tile to glam up your kitchen or a quirky design to spruce up the floors in your bathroom, bedroom or living room, you’ll find a variety of colours, sizes and finishes available in both ceramic and porcelain tile options.

What are herringbone tiles?

Essentially, herringbone tiles are like many other types of tile in terms of materials and the practical benefits, but it’s their thin rectangular shape and the signature pattern they’re laid in that give them their name.

Laid at 90-degree angles to one another, the design of herringbone tiles is said to resemble the bone structure of a fish skeleton - the herring, to be more precise. This pattern can often be confused with chevron tiling, as the two feature similar angular layouts. However, chevron tiles feature diagonally cut edges that typically sit flush with one another to create a distinctive point, whereas herringbone rectangular tiles overlap.

To pull off the iconic herringbone pattern, you have two options. The first is to use individual rectangular-shaped tiles, such as flat or bevelled metro tiles, which are laid perpendicular to each other in an L shape. This method can be a little tricky to pull off as you need to ensure each tile is laid perfectly straight and evenly to prevent the finished design from looking wonky.

The other option is to buy sheets of herringbone mosaic tiles (like those you’ll find here) which are already positioned to give you straight, even lines. All you need to do is align the sheets to ensure the pattern remains straight and consistent for a professional finish.

Whichever option you choose for laying your herringbone tiles, we’d recommend seeking the help of a professional tiler. As one of the more complex patterns, the last thing you want is off-centre lines ruining the luxury look.

Why choose herringbone tiles?

When it comes to deciding whether herringbone tiles are the way to go in your home, we’re here to help. Tiling offers interior decoration possibilities galore throughout the home, but add a striking herringbone tile pattern into the mix and you have a winning combination of style and practicality. Here’s why:

Water resistance - tiles offer outstanding resistance to water and, whether you choose a ceramic or porcelain herringbone tile, you can enjoy complete peace of mind that your walls and floors are suitably protected. It also goes without saying that your herringbone tiles will be ideally suited to use in wet areas like bathrooms, wet rooms and kitchens
Durability - throw in the hardness and strength of herringbone tiles and you’ll have a floor and wall covering that’s made to last for years. Scratch and stain-resistant, their hard surface will stand up to daily wear and tear with ease, even in busy areas - helping them to remain looking pristine for longer
Practicality - it pays to factor in upkeep when you’re choosing tiles for your home, and the good news is that herringbone tiling doesn’t require any special treatment other than a regular wipe over with warm water and a standard cleaning agent. This means you can enjoy the luxurious aesthetic that herringbone tiles deliver with minimal maintenance
Versatility - the herringbone tile pattern exudes elegance and can be incorporated into your home in countless different ways. With herringbone mosaic tiles in an array of colours and finishes, you can create any look you want. From vintage-inspired parquet floors using wood-effect herringbone tiles to creating cutting-edge glamour with dark blues and shiny black options, the only limit is your own imagination
Character - one of the real unique plus points of installing herringbone tiles in bathrooms, kitchens and beyond is the character and interest they bring to a space. With their striking pattern, you can instantly add depth and texture. Whether you want to go clean and minimalist using matt white herringbone mosaics or pretty and playful with tiles in pastel shades, it’s easy to bring charm to every room
