Neuroscientists have recently studied the link between interior design and mental health. As it turns out, the two concepts are heavily intertwined. Positive surroundings can reduce stress and anxiety while boosting your mood.

Since floor designs are the basis for any room layout, choosing the right vinyl tile flooring pattern is essential. Read on to learn some options to consider when choosing between floor styles.

What Is the Best Pattern for Vinyl Flooring?

There are many types of flooring out there, and choosing a pattern for your vinyl floor layout can be challenging. Look on Pinterest and create boards and folders with layouts that you like. Choose available colors and shapes before talking with experts about how they’ll fit in your space.

Offset Patterns

Offset patterns use rectangular vinyl planks. They can be of any length and width you like.

When you lay them down, stagger them so that the edges of one tile are in the center of the ones above and below it. This creates an uneven appeal even while the tiles are identical. It adds some visual complexity and texture.

Diagonal Layouts

Tiles don’t need to be horizontal or vertical when laid down in a room. You can lay long subway tiles on diagonal angles so that they look as though they’re pointing toward a corner of the room. This is individualistic and will make your room stand out as unique.

Herringbone Designs

Herringbone patterns lay long, thin tiles diagonally beside each other. They look as though they’re pointing upward and downward like arrows (or the bones of the fish that they get their name from.)

For some extra fun with color and texture, use tiles in a color that has a high contrast with their edges. This will make the pattern appear bolder.

Subway Tile Patterns

Subway tiles are simply those that are long, thin, and rectangular. You can use them to create herringbone or diagonal patterns, but horizontal offset subway tiles are a simple and minimalistic way to give yourself a floor upgrade.

Consider getting them in multiple shades of one color with black or white edges. Randomly laying down various shades creates a great monochromatic color scheme.

Vinyl Flooring Styles

Before laying out your tile, choose the appropriate kind of vinyl flooring. Installation options include:

• Durable plank that snaps together
• Sheet vinyl that you can cut and put down in sections
• Peel-and-stick adhesive tiles for easy installation

Weave and Grid Layouts

All materials and installation methods lend well to weave and grid tile layouts. These use square tiles laid out evenly beside each other like a checkerboard. They can all be the same color, but you also can alternate high-contrast hues like a real checkerboard for more complexity.

Random Arrangements

Of course, you don’t need to stick with a popular arrangement. You can also get various shapes and sizes of tiles and lay them down at random intervals. This ensures a one-of-a-kind aesthetic that provides a lot of texture to your space.
