Galletti Laying Patterns

One of the things that makes Galletti such a compelling range is how much the laying pattern changes the character of the finished result. The same tiles can feel bold and graphic in one arrangement and quietly sophisticated in another, and the rectified finish across both formats means mixing colours within a pattern is straightforward without any laying issues. This blog shows what is possible across several different patterns, from the timeless appeal of chequerboard to the clean graphic quality of a vertical stack bond.

There is something satisfying about a well executed chequer, and with marble effect tiles it takes on a whole new level of richness. The natural veining within each tile means no two squares are identical, giving the pattern a depth and movement that rewards a closer look. The pairings shown here demonstrate just how differently the same pattern can read depending on the colours you choose.

Stripes have always had a place in interior design, and Galletti gives the look a marble-led finish that feels more permanent than trend-led. Horizontal rows stretch the eye across the wall, while turning the same layout vertically gives the surface a taller, more architectural feel. The white and deep green pairing shown here keeps the stripe crisp, but the veining stops it feeling too uniform.

Herringbone is one of those patterns that has never really gone out of fashion, and the marble veining gives it a more decorative quality here. It can be laid in a single or double herringbone pattern, depending on how much detail you want across the surface. As each tile changes direction, the veining shifts with it, so the pattern grows through both the layout and the surface detail.
