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!
I’m loving the first Herringbone option. The basketweave reminds me too much of the 60’s bathroom floor tiles.
basketweave or herrigbone 3.
I love the Herringbone 3 the best!!! I also like Herringbone 2 but feel it might be too busy of a pattern. I feel the stove and the exhaust are the main attraction here and that the tile should compliment it, not take away from it. I’m sure no matter what pattern you pick it will all look beautiful. Good luck!!!
Love #3
I too prefer the basket weave pattern. The 3 herring bones have movement, carrying the eye diagonally or up and down.
Love seeing all of your projects!
