Floor Tiles

Am planning to use floor tiles for my living room. There is such large varieties available nowadays - is there somewhere where I can different ways to lay floor tiles?

Well, there are basically 2 ways:

Straight and diagonally.

This is assuming all floor tiles are the same size and square, of course.

If you have a rectangle, then you already have more choice - horizontally or vertically. There are some mix and match sold as sets or created by the person buying them that make the options virtually endless. Heck, you could have chevron floors. You can make a tile "rug" in an area. You can make stripes with a different contrasting tile. You could lay them like parquet floors. You can add little glass tiles in the corners. If you are working with rectangles and/or mixed shapes, the sky is the limit.

There really are hundreds of possible patterns possible. Try a search on the Houzz photo archives by going to "browse rooms" and selecting kitchens or bathrooms (more tile there). Then do a search for tile patterns. Have fun!

Go with the leather that is a shade lighter that the floors. Otherwise it could get lost in blur of grey. Use accent colors in the lamp shades,wall art and throws. I also like the white table better. The metal table is more industrial. Than the style you are going for.

Photos didn't attach. Mint is a horrible colour (IMHO) and I have it in spades in my rental. I've ignored it and accented the way I want. It seems to have calmed down since I started using bold colours like red (rugs) and orange (painted cafe street scene). The light in my place is quite warm...so I've been having fun by ignoring the mint. Colours like burnt sienna and many forms of orange seem to work well with mint. Photos would help.
