Backsplash design options – chime in

I’m going with a classic, white, subway tile for my kitchen backsplash but I’m going to install it in a cool pattern, instead of  simple staggered horizontal lines.  It’s a large area, about 7′ x 5 1/2′ and I’m tiling the whole thing.  I love the openness here so I’m not putting upper cabinets in but I will add a couple floating shelves.  The electrical cable sticking out of the wall is for under shelf lighting –in case you were wondering. 😉

I’ve sketched out four different pattern and thought it would be fun to let you all weigh in on the decision.

Here’s a larger picture of each design option to look at before you make up your mind.

Won’t this be fun?

Yes —  Of course it will!

Tell me which option you like best and then let’s see what happens!

  1. I love the basket weave pattern. It is a classic look that will never go out of style. It also looks like it will take the most work. Probably why it also has a very expensive look to it 🙂

  2. I third the basketweave! Something about it just feels balanced to me since all the others draw my eye in a particular direction.

    I’m not a fan of white subway tiles, I think it will be a short fad and that many people will be unsatisfied with them sooner than other materials. That all said If I had to have them in my kitchen, I would choose Herringbone 1 or 2
