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 like the #2 – basket weave but it would be a pain to install. To much cutting & trimming.

  2. Herringbone 3 is beautiful. I love the basket weave but it looks so hard to do.

    sorry the basketweave kinda hurts my head… in this space I’m thinking Herringbone 3 … number three… but putting an accent strip high wouldn’t give it the feeling of more height. digging the counters btw. cheers.
