Herringbone Bathroom Tiles

This page groups tiles for herringbone bathroom designs — metro bricks including Black Metro, Apennine Carrara bevels, Liso colours, Grey Metro and Fulham White, plus Lumber Herringbone LVT.

The zig-zag pattern works on feature walls, full shower enclosures and selected floors, in classic white, bold colour or anything in between.

Why choose a herringbone layout?

Herringbone adds movement and depth to a bathroom wall that a standard brick bond or straight grid rarely achieves. A well-executed herringbone reads as considered and deliberate.

It suits shower walls, bath surrounds and basin splashbacks. Our bathroom tile ideas hub has more layout inspiration.

• The zig-zag adds visual interest compared with standard straight or brick bond layouts.
• Works brilliantly for feature walls behind baths, basins and inside showers.
• Looks great with slim rectangular tiles such as metro bricks and LVT planks.
• Can be subtle in white or neutral tiles, or bold with strong colours and contrasting grout.

Metro wall tiles form the bulk of this selection — narrow rectangles that naturally suit herringbone patterns on shower walls and feature areas.

• Herringbone LVT – Lumber Honey and Lumber Silver Grey for warm, wood-look herringbone bathroom floors.

Herringbone bathroom wall ideas

Herringbone works best when it has a clear home — a shower enclosure, a bath surround or the wall behind a basin, rather than covering every surface.

For high-contrast schemes using dark grout and white tiles, our black and white tile ideas guide has useful reference points.

• Create an accent wall in the shower or behind the bath using White, Grey or coloured metros in herringbone.
• Use Fulham White, Apennine Carrara or Liso colour bricks to pair a classic brick shape with a contemporary herringbone layout.
• Highlight the pattern with contrasting grout — dark with white tiles, or light grout with dark or coloured tiles.
• Try a vertical herringbone to draw the eye upward and give a low-ceilinged room more height.

Practical tips for herringbone bathroom tiles

Herringbone demands more than a straight grid or brick bond. Extra cuts, precise alignment and careful centring all need consideration before a single tile goes on the wall.

Our bathroom tile tips guide covers quantity calculations, wastage allowances and finish selection.

• Dry-lay tiles first to find the centre of the pattern and avoid awkward cuts at edges.
• Expect more cutting and wastage than with straight layouts; order extra tiles accordingly.
• Confirm suitability: metro tiles are wall-only; Lumber Herringbone LVT is floor-focused.
• Discuss labour with your tiler; herringbone patterns can increase installation costs over simple grids.
