Running Bond Tile Pattern

The running bond tile pattern is a classic layout where each row is offset—usually by half the tile’s width—to form a timeless brick pattern used across wall tile patterns, floors, and tub surrounds. Common in classic subway tile layouts and natural stone, this bond pattern adds texture and visual interest while working with both ceramic tile and marble. From the first row to the third row, the offset creates a flow that fits both traditional and modern styles.
