Which direction for herringbone floor?

I'm struggling with which direction to put the herringbone tile. When you approach the bathroom, all you see is the vanity, so my first instinct would be to have the herringbone lead you into the room.


But the floor space is slightly more rectangular to the eye because of the vanity and toilet, so should the herringbone point towards the shower? (the room dimensions are correct, but the vanity, toilet, and 4 x 12 tiles are not to scale)


Which one should I go with?

      I would definitely go with the first illustration so the herringbone leads you into the room. Good luck!

      You only have a small 3'x 5' open space in your bath. The scale of a 4"x12" tile will be too large for your space, and the length to width ratio is off for a herringbone pattern. You need a much smaller tile in order to appreciate the pattern choice, and the tile needs to be twice as long as it is wide for a herringbone. Like the classic 3x6 subways that you see used in showers.

      And the second pattern makes the room seem larger. But only if you use the right scale tile.

      I like the second pattern, I agree that it makes the room seem larger.

      The second pattern will definitely make the room feel larger! I always tell my clients to picture a person wearing vertical stripes verses horizontal stripes. Vertical stripes make you look taller which is good for a person but bad for a long room.

      I would go with option #2. I agree that it will make the space seem larger.

      The 1st one. It really does seem to lead you in.

      Cook's Kitchen is right. Totally agree with her. It doesn't matter wether the tile "leads" you into the room; you're bath is small and option 2 makes it look bigger. That's what you probably want -- a larger looking room.

      I would just like to say I came here to get answers and it has made my decision even more difficult I have the same problem and my bathroom looks just like the one in the photo below or above I guess.

      Patrick: I sympathize with your dilemma. receiving lots of advice, some of which is contradictory can be confusing, But the responders just give their opinion, and opinions vary. In the end, it’s what you like best that matters.


      On a practical note, you could try creating a full size sketch that you actually lay down on the floor. Actually seeing a facsimile might help you decide. That’s a lot of effort, but you’ll be looking at your choice for a long time.

      Dear Tiger, I was joking... oh and I did option one because my bathroom is like the photo that was later uploaded by someone and there is no right or wrong answer bc they are both gorgeous! I just like mine pointing to my vanity

      # 1. It guides you into the room. Upon entering from the doorway, the flow for the eye continues in a forward direction and creates a smooth transition into the space.

      @The Cook's kitchen, can the wooden look tile size of 47x 7 or 39 x 10 inches be arranged in a herringbone layout in a 12 x 15.5 feet kitchen?


      And what do you think of this diagonally oriented layout, rather than vertical or horizontal?

      I feel like #1 gives me the vibes of the room being a little bigger.

      Option 2 . This way it looks more like flooring rather than being directed in to a room .
