Name of Tile Pattern

Cobblestone

Description

One of the lovelier tile patterns--unusual, eye-catching, and well worth the work.

Cobblestone tile patterns requires some patience. Ten tiles of two different sizes comprise the repeated section, and it can be hard to keep track of what you're doing after awhile.

Yet this tile pattern will definitely help break your floor out of the "box" of conventional grid tile designs.
