A French Pattern is a combination of four tile sizes arranged in a repeating, modular layout. The beauty of this pattern lies in its natural, flowing look—it avoids rigid lines and adds visual movement to floors and outdoor surfaces.
🔹 Standard French Pattern Tile Sizes:
A full French Pattern set usually consists of:
1 tile – 16" x 24" (40 cm x 60 cm)
2 tiles – 16" x 16" (40 cm x 40 cm)
1 tile – 8" x 16" (20 cm x 40 cm)
2 tiles – 8" x 8" (20 cm x 20 cm)
These 6 tiles make up one full set. The pattern is then repeated across the entire surface.
🏡 Where Is French Pattern Used?
The French Pattern is popular in both indoor and outdoor spaces because it creates an Old-World, Mediterranean feel. Common applications include:
Patios & pool decks
Garden pathways
Interior floors (kitchens, living rooms)
Hotel lobbies, restaurants, and courtyards
It's especially striking in tumbled travertine, where the rustic edges and natural tones enhance the pattern’s charm.
