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!
Herringbone #3!
They’re all so lovely. The basket weave seems more interesting with less pieces to cut, but the movement in each herringbone is so interesting!
Can’t wait to see it done – whichever one it is.
Basket weave is my favorite.
I like the herringbone 3 pattern as well. Since it’s vertical, it will make the wall look taller, theoretically. I too like the basket weave, but it doesn’t have as much movement as the herringbone 3, so it’s my second choice. Plus it has a ton of cuts! 🙂 Maybe purple grout? (j/k)
I like #3 Herringbone. Looks like there would be less cutting with the herringbone than the basketweave. Good luck with whatever you choose! I’m sure it will be beautiful!
