Hello everyone,
I have a quick question about tile patterns. I know it’s a matter of personal taste, but I’m wondering what would make the most sense for our situation. We are having 60x30 cm (24x12 inches) light beige tiles installed. In the hallway, which is narrow and long (about 1.8 m by 6 m (6 ft by 20 ft)), and in the adjacent small guest bathroom and storage room (where the pattern will probably be least noticeable). Then there is the connected kitchen, roughly 11 square meters (120 square feet) in size, which is slightly rectangular or almost square. We are undecided between a random (wild) pattern and a one-third offset (staggered) pattern. I think the visual difference might not be that big, but based on your experience, what do you think is more practical? I do not want a grid pattern (cross joints). For additional info, the tiles are rectified.

The joker with the short tiles should be able to manage that. He just wants to avoid complaints. Now he can say, "I told you so." In the living room, I used tiles twice as long from the home improvement store, and we had them laid randomly, even though my Albanian workers would have preferred a 1/3 or even 1/2 offset pattern. With 30cm x 60cm (12 inches x 24 inches) tiles, he really has no reason to complain.

He said the tiles were quite difficult to install, but it seems to have worked out pretty well. He had to press them down quite firmly in the center. That surprised me a bit because these are rectified tiles that I ordered from a specialist retailer. However, apparently, there is no guarantee that the tiles won’t have any warping.
Anyway... The important thing is that they were installed properly. I haven’t seen them on site yet, but the first photos look good.
