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. the basketweave.

  2. Basketweave with out a doubt. It will still allow the flow of the horizontal floating shelves to the eye.

  3. Herringbone no 3… it “reflects” the shape of the fan…

  4. Basketweave. I think the herringbone is going to be ‘chevron’ outdated in a couple of years.
