Benefits of Installing Tile on a Diagonal (Diamond Tile Pattern)

Choosing a tile pattern can be a daunting task.  You have to take into consideration that the more complex designs take longer to install and may increase your budget due to added materials needed.  The MeasureRIGHT Pro solves these issues by allowing you to accuratly measure and mark the sometimes complicated tile cuts you may encounter on your installation. 
The purpose of a diagonal tile pattern is to draw your eye outwards to the points, making the space seem larger.  This could be useful in a smaller space and the benefits of the design are worth the additional effort.  In order to keep the room visually appealing and not to draw all your attention to the floors you should stick to neutral colors that are subtle but still interesting.  Remember that tile is permanent and replacement is costly; so choose your tile and pattern accordingly, it will save you misery in the long run.
Now if you still are having trouble on choosing a design pattern for your tile installation then look for a little free help from a professional.  Most of your local tile stores have a design desk or person on staff whose expertise is in tile design.  Seek out their advice on how you should proceed and what patterns would look best in the space you have.
