• Tile installation is a specialized craft, and a key aspect of this craft is the arrangement of the tiles. Each arrangement or pattern can dramatically change the aesthetic of a room, and understanding the common tile arrangements can help you choose the best design for your space. Here are some of the most popular tile arrangements that are commonly used in homes and businesses.

• Straight Lay
  The simplest and most common arrangement is the straight lay. In this pattern, tiles are installed in straight lines, so the tile edges form a grid. This pattern can be used with virtually any type and size of tile, creating a clean, modern look.

• Diagonal Lay
  A variation on the straight lay, the diagonal lay simply rotates the grid 45 degrees, so the tiles form a diamond pattern. This pattern can make a room look bigger and add an element of sophistication.

• Running Bond or Brick Pattern
  Most commonly used with subway tiles, the running bond arrangement staggers the tiles so the edge of each tile lines up with the center of the tile above and below it, creating a pattern similar to a brick wall. This design adds visual interest and works well in both modern and traditional spaces.

• Herringbone Pattern
  Named after the skeleton of the herring fish, this pattern involves laying rectangular tiles in a zigzag pattern. This arrangement is often used as a feature on floors or walls, adding elegance and a dynamic visual effect.

• Basket Weave Pattern
  In the basket weave pattern, tiles are laid out in blocks of two or more, alternating between horizontal and vertical pairs. This creates a woven look, adding depth and a classic touch to your space.

• Windmill Pattern
  The windmill pattern involves surrounding a small square tile with four larger rectangular tiles, forming a windmill-like design. This pattern offers a unique and intricate aesthetic.

• Versailles Pattern
  This random arrangement involves using at least three different-sized tiles, providing a very natural and harmonious look. It's typically used with travertine tiles but can work with other types as well.

• 
  Each tile arrangement offers a distinct look and feel and can dramatically transform your space. Remember that the color, texture, and finish of your tiles will also contribute to the overall effect. When planning a tile installation project, consider all these elements to ensure you achieve the design that best suits your style and the functionality of your space.
