The herringbone tile trend receives its name from the skeleton of a herringbone that it mimics when laid in a diagonal design. However, there is nothing fishy about this simple yet effective way to add character and personality to your space. When faced with both plain and patterned options, the white herringbone tile is making waves in the interior décor domain.
Often an overlooked feature of the home, tiles often become just a functional aspect without personality. White herringbone tiling refuses to be ignored though. This eye-catching style looks stunning on floors, walls, fireplaces, and even as a backsplash. Not just one for looks, this tiling is also easy to maintain, water resistant, and hard-wearing.
If you’ve realized your home has gone far too long without this impressive style of tile, take a look at these inspiring ideas.
