Interior designer Huong Vu takes a fresh perspective on the classic herringbone pattern, suggesting a modern reinterpretation that’s both bold and comforting. “The black herringbone wall tile in this bathroom is a contemporary twist on a classic, with the pattern rotated to align the tiles parallel to the wall’s right angles,” she shares. The striking black tile, set in a herringbone pattern, creates a dynamic backdrop for the tub and shower combo, while the gray hexagon tile niche adds a subtle contrast.
