Can you do a herringbone pattern with 4x12" tile?

11 years ago

Hi all, I've got a tile I like at a price I like, but am wondering what it'll look like in a herringbone pattern. the tile is 4x12. Is that too stumpy to look good? Anyone have examples of 1:3 ratio rectangle herringbone? I looked but didn't find anything so far.

onomatopriya - is that the Aspire tile? What color did you go with? Did you end up doing the herringbone? If so, do you have a picture you could share?

Are the photos of 4x12’s? Hard to tell. I’m thinking about a 4 1/4x13 which seems like an odd size

Another comment… there is a Porcelain Calatta marble look I’m interested in which is 4x24. Any suggestions on how to lay this out?
