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!
Or you could go for broke and do basketweave on the diagonal. =)
I prefer the 2 patterns that run vertically (Basketweave and Herringbone 3), as opposed to diagonally. Of the two vertical options, I prefer the Basketweave, but it looks like a real bear to do. It also seems more textural, less flat. looking forward to seeing what you do. I imagine it will be easier to do the wall tiling than floor tiling, which I found really hard on the back.
Herringbone 1 is my favorite with Herringbone 3 being the close second.
I am LOVING watching you walk us through your kitchen renovation. 🙂
I like the basket weave, it just looks richer to me!
I like the basket weave but it looks like a lot of work. So I would go with the Herringbone 2
