How to Design a Pattern in Laminate Flooring

Choose the tiles you will use to make your laminate flooring pattern. For simple installation, choose tiles that are the same size. For a pattern that will cover the whole floor, choose four tile colors or patterns. Select colors and/or patterns that go well together and complement the room.

Remove the room's furniture. Sweep and mop the floor. Wait for the floor to dry.

Lay the laminate tiles on the floor in the patterns you desire. The most common pattern used is alternating tiles; for that pattern, lay the tiles across the floor so that no two tiles of the same color or design are next to one another. Other options include stripes and color blocks. Using a border along the room's perimeter gives the room a cozy feeling. Blocks of color can emphasize a breakfast nook and other area you wish to keep distinct. Lay and re-lay the tiles until you find a pattern you love.

Move some of the tiles to one side of the room, and adhere the tiles in place there following the tile adhesive's instructions.
