DIY Herringbone Tile Floor - Start to Finish
The herringbone pattern is beautiful and we are going to show you how to get the exact same look when laying your own tile.
In this video we take you through the process of ripping out the old tile and prepping for the new tile. We show you how to find the correct placement for laying out the herringbone pattern in the room. And finally, we show you how to lay the tile and add grout. It's a lot of work, but you can do it!
We used a gray wood looking tile and a premixed grout (color silver) from Floor and Decor in Salt Lake City.

I have watched MANY DIY videos on laying tile floors.. this is by far the most helpful and informative of them all! Thank you for sharing your experience 😊
Your husband did an amazing job. great to see everyone participating... even the dog
This guy has experience installing tile, herringbone layout is not the hardest layout but it is not the easiest either, so congrats to this ladies that ended up with a nice looking tile floor.
Love the color and the pattern. A soon as get a house one day I'ma do this lol
Looks great!! I'm getting ready to do my kitchen, bathrooms and laundry rooms the same way.
Looks great one piece of advice I will give you is when laying your mortar try to do just straight lines because when you swirl and you push the tile down it’s harder for the air to escape from the gaps and you wind up with air pockets under the tile But seeing as those are smaller tiles it won’t be much of an issue but if you were using large tiles like 12” x 24” you really want to make sure those grout lines are straight It’s important for all tiles but the bigger the tile gets the more air that will get trapped in the swirly lines
Such a good hubby to take on such a difficult job and make it look so very easy, and I am so pleased to see that even your daughter uses power tools. Good for her!!

Beautiful family and you did a great job - my advice for next time is buy a wet tile saw its much quicker and cleaner cuts
Impressive task for someone who wouldn't think to pull the baseboards. Always recommend new trim with new floors. Trim is usually easy and cost 10% what the floor did. Looks incredible, I love the choice in tile!
That is a gorgeous GSD

Great job.
Came out great! I wud have used slightly darker grout to hilight the design more
Excellent job. What brand 1/16” tile spacers did you guys use?
It looks stunning... No wonder this type of installation is so expensive - it is a lot of work.

Well done and keep up the good work 👍👍👍
It looks beautiful but I have a question that might sound silly. You said to draw a center line on floor first and use that as guide to lay, but doesn't that line get covered when put the mortar on the floor?
you did so good

I love the look. I’m currently living in a rented house and I have tile through out the whole house and I really don’t like it. It’s square and really hard to clean in my opinion. With kids spilling drinks or anything I find the grout always stays dirty looking. I told my bf when we build our own home we aren’t getting tile but I gotta say I really like the tile you guys used. It swayed me a bit lol. Your husband did and awesome job. 👍🏽

Pat Austin it’s been a while since we did this project so my memory has faded, but if we are only talking about installing the tile, it took a couple weeks working on it here and there after work. Our whole room was undone for a couple months as we chipped away at it slowly when we had free time.

You should really rename it, give him some credit too. It kind of makes women look bad and I’m a woman btw. Edit: Sorry! I guess the only two videos I watched of yours just happened to involve your husband doing the majority of the work. I realized after looking at your video page that you’re doing most of your DIY jobs.

@@krisunderwood5912 No, not lazy, just stating a fact. With no height issues it`s a no brainer, nowadays, a lot of ceramic tiles are fitted before the kitchen units and we now have screed that will deal with that instead of having to rip up the old tiles which are often very difficult to remove. In this video there are no height issues and the doors could be adjusted easily. It`s certainly not a floor layers job to remove the old tiles, that`s down to the client and they have options.
First video that explains the center isn’t on the point of the pattern

Watched like 3min....no herringbone. I'm a Tiler by trade, just diamond grind the floors...all was too painful...typical DIY people, everything by pro's is too expensive, and everything done (the slow way) by them is so hard.... Arghh! I get that it maybe the first time, however....get the pro's in. Faster, and last longer. If you do not diamond sand the floors, it will "pop" in 5 years. Other than that, great video!
