Designing your home is always exciting. The first step in the activity, planning, is where you should consider the materials and design you will use for you to achieve the look or feel you want to have for your home. This is where you might have challenges, as there are a lot of options to choose from. It is essential to narrow down your selection to things that you think will deliver the aesthetics you want. For example, for your kitchen and bath, you can choose from various tile designs, materials, or colors for your walls and flooring, so how do you start? First, you have to think of the overall vibe that your kitchen or bathroom would give off.
If you want it simple, you can go with the common types of tiles, plain ceramic tiles in neutral tones. However, if what you are going for is more than the ordinary, you can go with mosaic tiles, marble tiles, or metallic tiles. Aside from the material, you also have to consider the pattern. Some common patterns for tiles are diamond, hexagon, herringbone, and basketweave. All these patterns can make your kitchen and bath look elegant, but one pattern that has been getting popular in recent times is basketweave. This pattern can make any room modern and luxurious or classic and chic depending on its material, design, and color. If you want your bathroom and kitchen to be eye-catching regardless of the overall theme you have in mind, we strongly recommend having basket weave tile.

Installing Different Basket Weave Tile Patterns
You can choose from two basketweave tile patterns. One requires just brick-shaped tiles, while the other one requires brick-shaped tiles and small square tiles. Depending on your skills or preference, it can be a simple one or a high end tile pattern.
The more traditional and simple one is where brick-shaped tiles are stacked horizontally next to brick-shaped tiles stacked vertically. To create the basket weave tile pattern, lay two or more tiles together that will make a square. If you lay them horizontally at first, you have to lay the next set vertically. Then, alternate the angle for every set you lay. This process of laying the tiles provides a textured filed without frills.
The other process is a bit complicated, but it provides more texture. Here, brick-shaped tiles are placed next to small square tiles to create an interlocking patterns. Specifically, here are the steps to create this pattern, assuming that you start from the left-hand corner furthest the door of whichever room you will install the tiles.
- Place a square tile.
- To the right of the square tile, place a rectangular tile in a vertical angle.
- Cut a rectangular tile so its width will be the same as the square tile. Place this in a horizontal angle below the first square tile.
- Under the cut tile, place another square tile. Then place two more directly opposite the first two square tiles on the other side of the tile you set vertically.
- To the right of the vertical tile, set another tile horizontally, making its end lay between the two square tiles.
- Reverse this pattern and repeat. Each rectangular tile should have two square tiles on both of its ends.
