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, but all the patterns are lovely.
White subway tile is about as timeless as you can get. They date back to the early 1900’s. If its a fad then its a really long one! 😉 That being said I love herringbone 3 the most but basketweave is a very close second.
Basketweave
I’m another fan of the basketweave!
I like the basket weave best, although I realize that could be more work if the matching square tiles aren’t available and you need to cut tiles. My second choice would be herringbone 3.
