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 like the basket weave but it looks like a lot of work. So I would go with the Herringbone 2
I also really like Herringbone 3. I think it is oriented well for the space, up/down to accent the height and draw your eyes up to the hood. I like the basket weave, too, but the herringbone has a little extra edge (to me).
I am living vicariously through your gorgeous kitchen and your insane ablility! I love herringbone 3. the pattern leads the eye upward, toward that gorgeous ceiling!
