Does diagonal vs straight tile pattern really matter to home buyers.
Marble straight or diagonal.
Similar to the straight pattern this diagonal brick style requires marble tiles set in a 45 degree angle.
Often seen with classic black and white marble tiles this pattern can also be used with colored tiles for a unique and daring design.
Tiles installed diagonally are at a 45 degree angle to the walls.
The checkerboard pattern uses two different colored tiles in an alternating straight or diagonal pattern to create a bold dramatic statement.
Homeowners often shy away from diagonal tile layouts also called bias layouts in a bathroom.
While a diagonal pattern might seem logical if you are using big tiles for an expansive space such as a large kitchen or great room floor many people worry that diagonal tiles can look too busy in a smaller bathroom and if you are a diyer planning to install the tiles yourself you might worry that.
Apart from playing on an existing design classic diagonal floor tiles create an illusion of a bigger space.
