Tile laying patterns are a great way to add interest to even the smallest of spaces; they also can add depth and help change the proportions of a room. For example, to make a short hallway seem longer a plank format tiled vertically will elongate the floor space. Similarly, a horizontal herringbone pattern will draw the eye across the space making a narrow room feel wider.

We love finding new ways to lay different kinds of tiles and our Dartrey range has to be the stand out example. Available in a rhombus and a thin short plank shape, these two formats can form up to eight different laying patterns! It's also available in three different colours, think of all those possibilities!

The geometric cube or the star

Depending on how you see this laying pattern, it creates either a 3D cube or an interlinking star shape, perfect for those geometric pattern lovers! The distressed wood effect finish of the Dartrey range means this pattern can be ultra-modern or have an industrial, slightly rustic aesthetic.

Striking stripes

If you've read our recent brochure, or opened any interior magazines of late, you'll know stripes are on point this season. Make a monochrome statement with all three colours in the Dartrey range to create a dramatic diagonal shape with style. We've paired it with a textured wall tile and a classic brick tile to keep the look masculine and contemporary.

Why not make it even more dramatic with black walls and touches of luxurious gold.

Linear lines

We love graphic lines on either wall or floor to make a statement. The muted grey plank is perfect for laying in a linear format; use a lighter grout colour to accent the edges of the tile. The Dartrey range has slip resistant properties so you can use it in a wet room or outside making it a versatile range.
