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!
Basket weave, without a doubt!
#2 or #3
I like the Herringbone 3 the best, and I like the Basketweave. I like all the Herringbone patterns but in this case I like the Herringbone 3 because I think the vertical pattern will draw the eyes up and add to the openness of the space. The Basketweave will add to a modern feel though, and in white will look great.
Agreed on the Herringbone #3. I’m a sucker for anything that reminds me of tweed and Mid-Century Modern styles.
I love the Basketweave. But, I’m not crazy about Herringbone most of the time.
