Brick Repeat Generator

When to use a brick repeat

In a brick (or half-brick) repeat, every second row shifts horizontally by half of the repeat width — just like bricks in a wall. It suits motifs that read along horizontal lines, such as borders, stripes with spot motifs, animals walking in one direction and many wallpaper designs.

Examples

Directional animals

Animals or figures that should all face the same way look orderly in a brick repeat while still avoiding stacked columns.

Geometric tiles

Hexagon-like and scale patterns often emerge naturally when a rounded motif is placed in a brick layout with zero spacing.
