A Sampling of Wall Tile Patterns

Checkerboard

Wall tile patterns have a few common themes. For one, the patterns tend to create a border at top. The border can either be a physical border in textured, 3D design (such as a listello) or a border such as the pictured checkerboard pattern. This wall tile pattern simple intersperses different-colored tiles in the top three rows to create a visual border.
